A Stroll Through Proverbs: Proverbs 6:20-6:26

20 “My ^a son, keep thy father's commandment [precepts, teachings], and forsake [abandon] not the law of thy mother [instruction]:

            ^a Ephesians 6:1

21 ^a Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

            ^a Proverbs 3:3

22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, ^a it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

^a Proverbs 2:11, Proverbs 3:23

23 For the ^a commandment is a lamp; and the ^b law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

            ^a Proverbs 13:9, Psalm 19:8, 119:105, 2 Peter 1:19; ^b Proverbs 4:18

24 ^a To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the ¹{tongue of a strange woman}.

            ^a Proverbs 2:16, 5:3; ¹ seduction

25 Lust ^a not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take [allure] thee with her eyelids.

            ^a 2 Kings 9:30, Matthew 5:28

26 ¹ {For ^a by means of a whorish [harlot] woman} ² {a man is brought to a piece of bread}: ^b and ³ {the adulteress will hunt ^c for the precious life}.

            ¹ Through adultery, fornication; ^a Proverbs 5:9-10, 29:3; ² Only for another meal; ^b Genesis 39:14, ^c Ezekiel 13:8; ³ {does not care}
