Proverbs 6:21-23
New Catholic Bible
21 Bind them forever in 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 awaken, they will instruct you.
23 For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light,[a]
and the corrections of discipline point the way to life,
