20My son, observe thy father's commandment, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;


In Context

17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;

18 a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations; feet that are swift in running to mischief;

19 a false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discords among brethren.

20 My son, observe thy father's commandment, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;

21 bind them continually upon thy heart, tie them about thy neck:

22 when thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
