Proverbs 6:20-22

My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck. When you walk, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.

    The mother's repeated warning functions exactly as the father's teaching in Proverbs: a guide meant to keep him from harm, tragically unheeded.
