Your Parents Words
22 Wherever you go in life, their words will be your guide. They will keep you safe while you sleep. When you wake up, they will teach you. 23 Their commands and their teaching are like a lamp that gives you light. When they warn you that you are doing wrong things, that helps you to live well. — Proverbs 6:22-23 | EasyEnglish Bible 2018 (EASY) EasyEnglish Bible Copyright © MissionAssist 2019.

Notes: Proverbs 6:22-23 encourages the reader to internalize parental instructions, which serve as a lamp, light, and life-giving path, guiding and protecting them through life's challenges by revealing right from wrong and helping them avoid sin. These verses, part of Solomon's larger exhortation to his son, highlight that wisdom, embedded in parental and divine instruction, provides ongoing guidance, security, and direction, ultimately leading to a prosperous and well-lived life.
