In context
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood;
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19 a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and do not forsake your mother's teaching.

23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the Law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
