20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
21 Bind them continually upon your heart, and tie them about your neck.
22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a seductress.
25 Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her allure you with her eyelids.
26 For by means of a harlot a man is reduced to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will prey upon his precious life.
