20 Keep, my son, the command of your father, || And do not leave the law 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 Bind them on your heart continually, || Tie them on 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 In your going up and down, it leads you, || In your lying down, it watches over you, || And you have awoken—it talks [with] 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 For the command [is] a lamp, || And the Law a light, || And a way of life [are] reproofs of instruction, 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,
