20My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline thine ear,


In Context

17 For they have eaten bread of wickedness, And wine of violence they drink.

18 And the path of the righteous is as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,

19 The way of the wicked is as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble.

20 My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline thine ear,

21 Let them not turn aside from thine eyes, Preserve them in the midst of thy heart.

22 For life they are to those finding them, And to all their flesh healing.
