Proverbs 6:23

Commandment And Instruction As Guardians

²² When you walk here and there, they will guide you;
when you lie down, they will watch over you;
when you wake up, they will talk to you.
²³ For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light,
and corrective discipline is the way to life.
²⁴ They will protect you from an evil woman,
from the flattering tongue of a stranger.
