For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 23 is found in chapter 6 of Proverbs. The father’s instructions are compared to a lamp that accompanies the disciple even through the night. In this context, the teaching again warns against the forbidden woman and presents adultery as conduct capable of destroying life. Wisdom functions here as preventive protection: listening to instruction before entering temptation is far safer than trying to escape afterward.

Denn das Gebot ist eine Leuchte und das Gesetz ein Licht, und die Strafe der Zucht ist ein Weg des Lebens,
Porque el mandamiento es antorcha, y la enseñanza luz; Y camino de vida las reprensiones de la enseñanza:
Car le précepte est une lampe, et l'enseignement une lumière, Et les avertissements de la correction sont le chemin de la vie:
Perciocchè il comandamento è una lampana, E l’insegnamento è una luce, E le correzioni di disciplina son la via della vita;
Porque o mandamento é lâmpada, e a lei é luz; e as repreensões da correção são o caminho da vida,
因為誡命是燈,教誨是光, 管教的責備是生命的道,
