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. 
26 For aby means of a harlot
A man is reduced to a crust of bread;
bAnd1 an adulteress will cprey upon his precious life.

Proverbs 6:22

When thou goest, it shall lead thee - Here the law is personified; and is represented as a nurse, teacher, and guardian, by night and day. An upright man never goes but as directed by God' s word and led by God' s Spirit.

When thou sleepest - He commends his body and soul to the protection of his Maker when he lies down and sleeps in peace. And when he awakes in the morning, the promises and mercies of God are the first things that present themselves to his recollection.
