17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
20 My son, keep your father’s commandand do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
21 Bind them always on your heart;fasten them round your neck.
22 When you walk, they will guide you;when you sleep, they will watch over you;when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,this teaching is a light,and correction and instructionare the way to life,
