Proverbs 6:22 Context
20¶ My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not the law of thy mother. 21Binde them continually vpon thine heart, and tie them about thy necke. 22When thou goest, it shall leade thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keepe thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talke with thee. 23For the Commandement is a lampe, and the Lawe is light: and reproofes of instruction are the way of life: 24To keepe thee from the euill woman, from the flatterie of the tongue of a strange woman.
