21 Bind them always on your heart;fasten them round your neck.
22 When you walk, they will guide you;when you sleep, they will watch over you;when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,this teaching is a light,and correction and instructionare the way to life,
24 keeping you from your neighbour’s wife,from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beautyor let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lapwithout his clothes being burned?
