- My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
- Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
- When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
- For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
- To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
|
- My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
- Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.
- When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.
- For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life
- To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
