“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; 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, preserve the precepts of your father, and do not dismiss the law of your mother.
Bind them to your heart unceasingly, and encircle them around your throat.
When you walk, let them keep step with you. When you sleep, let them guard you. And when you keep watch, speak with them.
For commandment is a lamp, and law is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life.
So may they guard you from an evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the outsider.
Let not your heart desire her beauty; do not be captivated by her winks.
For the price of a prostitute is only one loaf. Yet the woman seizes the precious soul of a man.
