Proverbs 6:22-24
American Standard Version
22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee;
When thou [a]sleepest, it shall watch over thee;
And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For [b]the commandment is a lamp; and [c]the law is light;
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep thee from the evil woman,
From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.

Proverbs 6:22-24
New International Version
22 When you walk, they will guide you;
when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,(A)
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,(B)
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.(C)
