Proverbs 6:20 in Context — Proverbs 6
18 El corazón que maquina pensamientos inicuos, los pies presurosos para correr al mal,
19 El testigo falso que habla mentiras, y el que enciende rencillas entre los hermanos.
20 Guarda, hijo mío, el mandamiento de tu padre, y no dejes la enseñanza de tu madre:
21 Atalos siempre en tu corazón, enlázalos á tu cuello.
22 Te guiarán cuando anduvieres; cuando durmieres te guardarán; hablarán contigo cuando despertares.
