20Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.


In Context

17 Eyes high — tongues false — And hands shedding innocent blood —

18 A heart devising thoughts of vanity — Feet hasting to run to evil —

19 A false witness who doth breathe out lies — And one sending forth contentions between brethren.

20 Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.

21 Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck.

22 In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked — it talketh with thee.
