| 20 | My child, guard the commands of your father and do not forsake the instruction 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; fasten 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 about, they will guide 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 | For the commandments are like a lamp, instruction is like a light, and rebukes of discipline are like the road leading to 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, | |
