"For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,"
— Proverbs 6:23, World English Bible
“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 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 your father's commandment, and don't forsake your mother's teaching.
Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck.
When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.
For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.
Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
