Proverbios 6:22 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 6:22

When thou goest, it shall lead thee
The law of God taught by parents; this directs man in the path of duty and business of life; teaches him what way to shun, and which to walk in; it leads out of the paths of sin, and into the way in which he should go, which is most conducive to his good, and to the glory of God; it will lead him safely, so that he shall not stumble, ( Proverbs 3:3 ) ; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee;
from terrifying dreams, evil spirits, dangers by fire or thieves; one that observes it conscientiously may lie down and sleep, secure of the guardianship of divine Providence, and not fear any evil; or "shall watch over thee"

Proverbios 6:22 In-Context

20 Hijo mío, guarda el mandamiento de tu padre, y no abandones la enseñanza de tu madre;

21 átalos de continuo en tu corazón, enlázalos a tu cuello.

22 Cuando andes, te guiarán; cuando duermas, velarán por ti; y al despertarte, hablarán contigo.

23 Porque el mandamiento es lámpara, y la enseñanza luz, y camino de vida las reprensiones de la instrucción,

24 para librarte de la mujer mala, de la lengua suave de la desconocida.
