American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
My son, keep the commandment of thy father,And forsake not the {Or, teaching}law of thy mother:
Bind them continually upon thy heart;Tie them about thy neck.
When thou walkest, it shall lead thee;When thou {Hebrew: liest down.}sleepest, it shall watch over thee;And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
For {Or, their commandment}the commandment is a lamp; and {Or, their teaching}the law is light;And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
To keep thee from the evil woman,From the flattery of the foreigner's tongue.
Lust not after her beauty in thy heart;Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread;And {Hebrew: a man's wife.}the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
