Proverbes 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"

familiarly; and instruct what to do, and how to behave the day following; or "it shall go out with thee" ^F9, into the fields for a morning's walk, and assist in meditation. Jarchi interprets this of sleeping by death, and of awaking at the resurrection of the dead.

Proverbes 6:22 In-Context

20 Mon fils, garde les préceptes de ton père, Et ne rejette pas l'enseignement de ta mère.

21 Lie-les constamment sur ton coeur, Attache-les à ton cou.

22 Ils te dirigeront dans ta marche, Ils te garderont sur ta couche, Ils te parleront à ton réveil.

23 Car le précepte est une lampe, et l'enseignement une lumière, Et les avertissements de la correction sont le chemin de la vie:

24 Ils te préserveront de la femme corrompue, De la langue doucereuse de l'étrangère.
