22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you.When you sleep, they will protect you.When you wake up, they will advise you.
23 For their command is a lampand their instruction a light;their corrective disciplineis the way to life.
24 It will keep you from the immoral woman,from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.
25 Don’t lust for her beauty.Don’t let her coy glances seduce you.
26 For a prostitute will bring you to poverty,but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life.
27 Can a man scoop a flame into his lapand not have his clothes catch on fire?
28 Can he walk on hot coalsand not blister his feet?
