American King James Version
"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: "
— Proverbs 6:23, American King James Version
“For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,”
My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
Bind them continually on your heart, and tie them about your neck.
When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you wake, it shall talk with you.
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her take you with her eyelids.
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
