Led, Kept, and Spoken To

Proverbs 6:22 KJV
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

That these commandments are more than an earthly father's instructions to his son can be seen in the similarity this verse has with
Deuteronomy 6:7 KJV
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

The father who desires to bring his children up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord do more than teach them how to earn a living in the world. That father teaches the Bible to his children all day long.

And the child who hears and obeys such instruction will find that these commands will lead them, keep them and speak to them in the best ways of life.
