Proverbs 6:20–27

My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck.

When you walk, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.

For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,

to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.

For the levy of the prostitute is poverty, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.

Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?
