17 The Lord hates proud eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that kill those who aren't guilty.
18 He also hates hearts that make evil plans, feet that are quick to do evil,
19 any witness who pours out lies, and anyone who stirs up family fights.
20 My son, keep your father's commands. Don't turn away from your mother's teaching.
21 Tie them to your heart forever. Put them around your neck.
22 When you walk, they will guide you. When you sleep, they will watch over you. When you wake up, they will speak to you.
23 Your father's commands are like a lamp. Your mother's teaching is like a light. And the training that corrects you leads to life.
