Proverbs 6:20 in context

  1. 18A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
  2. 19A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.
  3. 20My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
  4. 21Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.
  5. 22When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
