20My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:


In Context

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

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

19 A false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, tie them about thy neck.

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