20 My son, keep thy father’s commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is fire, and the law is light; and reproofs of chastening are the way of life,
24 to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eyes.
26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is reduced to a piece of bread, and the woman will hunt the precious soul of the man.
