20My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:


In Context

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brothers.

20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:

21 Bind them continually on your heart, and tie them about your neck.

22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you wake, it shall talk with you.
