Proverbs 6:20

World English Bible

My son, keep your father’s commandment,
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.

Proverbs 6:20 in other translations

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

18a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19a false witness who utters lies,
and he who sows discord among brothers.
20My son, keep your father’s commandment,
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.
21Bind them continually on your heart.
Tie them around your neck.
22When you walk, it will lead you.
When you sleep, it will watch over you.
When you awake, it will talk with you.
