Proverbs 6:18-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

18. A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil,

19. A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.

20. My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;

21. Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.

22. When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.

23. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life

24. To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
