Proverbs 6

²¹ Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck.

²² When you walk, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.

²³ For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,

²⁴ to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

²⁵ Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
