Proverbs 6:20-21 in Context (Verses 17–24 KJV)
17
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,*
18
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20
¶ My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:*
24
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.*
