American Standard 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 Standard Version
“For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:”
“For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,”
“For the commandments are like a lamp, instruction is like a light, and rebukes of discipline are like the road leading to life,”
“Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:”
“For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life.”
“For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:”
My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.
When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over 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 foreigner’s tongue.
Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
For on account of a harlota man is broughtto a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
