Sunday in Proverbs

Proverbs Chapter 6

20 My son, obey your father’s commands,
      and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.
 21 Keep their words always in your heart.
      Tie them around your neck.
 22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you.
      When you sleep, they will protect you.
      When you wake up, they will advise you.
 23 For their command is a lamp
      and their instruction a light;
   their corrective discipline
      is the way to life.
 24 It will keep you from the immoral woman,
      from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.
 25 Don’t lust for her beauty.
      Don’t let her coy glances seduce you.
 26 For a prostitute will bring you to poverty,
      but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life.
