Proverbs

¹⁷eyes that show pride, tongues that tell lies, hands that kill innocent people, ¹⁸hearts that plan evil things to do, feet that run to do evil, ¹⁹witnesses in court who tell lies, and anyone who causes family members to fight. ²⁰My son, remember your father’s command, and don’t forget your mother’s teaching. ²¹Remember their words always. Tie them around your neck and keep them over your heart. ²²Let this teaching lead you wherever you go. It will watch over you while you sleep. And when you wake up, it will give you good advice. ²³Your parents give you commands and teachings that are like lights to show you the right way. This teaching corrects you and trains you to follow the path to life.
