Proverbs 6:20-23

New American Standard Bible

^20 (A)My son, comply with the commandment of your father,
And do not ignore the ^[a]teaching of your mother;
^21 (B)Bind them continually on your heart;
Tie them around your neck.
²² When you ^(C)walk, ^[b]they will guide you;
When you sleep, ^[c]they will watch over you;
And when you awake, ^[d]they will talk to you.
²³ For ^(D)the commandment is a lamp and the ^[e]teaching is light;
And rebukes for discipline are the way of life
