Proverbs 6:22-28 American Standard Version (ASV)

22. When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

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

24. To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.

25. Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

26. For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?

28. Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
