In context
20 My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not thy mothers instruction.
21 Binde them alway vpon thine heart, and tye them about thy necke.
22 It shall leade thee, when thou walkest: it shall watch for thee, when thou sleepest, and when thou wakest, it shall talke with thee.
23 For the commandement is a lanterne, and instruction a light: and corrections for instruction are the way of life,
24 To keepe thee from the wicked woman, and from ye flatterie of ye tongue of a strange woman.
25 Desire not her beautie in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eye lids.
26 For because of the whorish woman a man is brought to a morsell of bread, and a woman wil hunt for the precious life of a man.
