19 aA false witness
who speaks lies,
And one who
bsows discord among brethren.
Beware of Adultery
20 aMy son, keep your father’s command,
And do not forsake the law of your mother.
21 aBind them continually upon your heart;
Tie them around your neck.
22 aWhen you roam,
1 they will lead you;
When you sleep,
bthey will keep you;
And
when you awake, they will speak with you.
23 aFor the commandment
is a lamp,
And the law a light;
Reproofs of instruction
are the way of life,
24 aTo keep you from the evil woman,
From the flattering tongue of a seductress.
25 aDo not lust after her beauty in your heart,
Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.
