Proverbs 6:23

Commandment And Instruction As Guardians

²²
When you walk about, they (the godly teachings of your parents) will guide you;
When you sleep, they will keep watch over you;
And when you awake, they will talk to you.
²³ 
For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching [of the law] is light,
And reproofs (rebukes) for discipline are the way of life,
²⁴
To keep you from the evil woman,
From [the flattery of] the smooth tongue of an immoral woman.
