Proverbs 6:21-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

21. Bind them on your heart for all time;fasten them around your neck.

22. When you walk around, they will lead you;when you lie down, they will protect you;when you awake, they will occupy your attention.

23. The commandment is a lamp and instruction a light;corrective teaching is the path of life.

24. They guard you from the evil woman,from the flattering tongue of the foreign woman.

25. Don’t desire her beauty in secret;don’t let her take you in with her eyelashes,

26. for a prostitute costs a loaf of bread,but a married woman hunts for a man’s very life.

27. Can a man scoop fire into his lapand his clothes not get burned?

28. If a man walks on hot coals,don’t his feet get burned?
