Proverbs 6:22-24

6:22 When you walk about, they will guide you;

when you lie down, they will watch over you;

when you wake up, they will talk to you.

instruction is like a light,

and rebukes of discipline are like the road leading to life,

6:24 by keeping you from the evil woman,

from the smooth tongue of the loose woman.

so I might not sin against you.

but a poor man’s wisdom is despised; no one ever listens to his advice.

but one sinner can destroy much that is good.
