Tie them in your heart forever!
Proverbs 6: 20-25
20 My son, keep your father’s commands. Don’t turn away from your mother’s teaching.
21 Tie them to your heart forever. Put them around your neck.
22 When you walk, they will guide you. When you sleep, they will watch over you. When you wake up, they will speak to you.
23 Your father’s commands are like a lamp. Your mother’s teaching is like a light. And the training that corrects you leads to life.
24 It keeps you from a sinful woman. It keeps you from the smooth tongue of a woman who commits adultery.
25 Don’t hunger in your heart after her beauty. Don’t let her eyes capture you.
26 A prostitute leaves you with only a loaf of bread. Another man’s wife hunts your very life.
27 You can’t shovel fire into your lap without burning your clothes.
28 You can’t walk on hot coals without burning your feet.
29 It’s the same for anyone who has sex with another man’s wife. Anyone who touches her will be punished.
30 People don’t hate a thief who steals to fill his empty stomach.
31 But when he is caught, he must pay seven times as much as he stole. It may even cost him everything he has.
32 A man who commits adultery has no sense. Anyone who does it destroys himself.
33 He will be beaten up and dishonored. His shame will never be wiped away.
34 Jealousy stirs up a husband’s anger. He will show no mercy when he gets even.
35 He won’t accept any payment. He won’t take any money, no matter how much he is offered.
