Proverbs 6:20 Context
18An heart that deuiseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischiefe: 19A false witnesse that speaketh lies; and him that soweth discord among brethren. 20¶ My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not the law of thy mother. 21Binde them continually vpon thine heart, and tie them about thy necke. 22When thou goest, it shall leade thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keepe thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talke with thee.
