Proverbs 6:20 in Context — Proverbs 6
18 Le cœur qui médite des projets iniques, Les pieds qui se hâtent de courir au mal,
19 Le faux témoin qui dit des mensonges, Et celui qui excite des querelles entre frères.
20 Mon fils, garde les préceptes de ton père, Et ne rejette pas l’enseignement de ta mère.
21 Lie-les constamment sur ton cœur, Attache-les à ton cou.
22 Ils te dirigeront dans ta marche, Ils te garderont sur ta couche, Ils te parleront à ton réveil.
