| 20 | My son, obey the command of your father, and do not disregard the teachings of your mother. | My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching. | My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. | |
| 21 | Fasten them on your heart forever. Hang them around your neck. | Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck. | Bind them always on your heart; fasten them around your neck. | |
| 22 | When you walk around, they will lead you. When you lie down, they will watch over you. When you wake up, they will talk to you | When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you. | When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you. | |
| 23 | because the command is a lamp, the teachings are a light, and the warnings from discipline are the path of life | For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life, | For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life, | |
