For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,
For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

In context
20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
21 Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck.
22 When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.
23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the Law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.
25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
