Proverbs 6:23 in Context — Proverbs 6
21 Amarra-os continuamente em teu coração; e pendura-os ao teu pescoço.
22 Quando caminhares, [isto] te guiará; quando deitares, [isto] te guardará; quando acordares, [isto] falará contigo.
23 Porque o mandamento é uma lâmpada, e a lei é luz; e as repreensões para correção são o caminho da vida;
24 Para te protegerem da mulher má, das lisonjas da língua da estranha.
25 Não cobices a formosura dela em teu coração; nem te prenda em seus olhos.
