Proverbs 6:20 in context

Proverbs 6:17–23

17

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue,

hands that shed innocent blood,

18

a heart that devises wicked schemes,

feet that are swift in running to mischief,

19

a false witness who utters lies,

and he who sows discord among brothers.

20
Selected verse

My son, keep your father’s commandment,

and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.

21

Bind them continually on your heart.

Tie them around your neck.

22

When you walk, it will lead you.

When you sleep, it will watch over you.

When you awake, it will talk with you.

23

For the commandment is a lamp,

and the law is light.

Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
