19. A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

20. My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

21. Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.

22. When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
