Contextual Overview

20 My sonne, kepe thy fathers commaundement, and forsake not the lawe of thy mother: 21 Tye them continually in thyne heart, and bynde them about thy necke. 22 That shall leade thee when thou goest, preserue thee when thou art asleepe, and when thou awakest talke with thee. 23 For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a light: yea chastening and nurture is the way of life: 24 That they may kepe thee from the euyll woman, and from the flattering tongue of the straunge woman. 25 Lust not after her beautie in thyne heart, lest thou be taken with her fayre lokes. 26 By an harlot [a man is brought] to beg his bread, and a woman wyll hunte for the pretious life of man. 27 May a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent? 28 Or can one go vpon hotte coales, and his feete not be brent? 29 Euen so, whosoeuer goeth in to his neyghbours wife and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My son, keep thy father's commandment,.... These are not the words of David to Solomon continued from Proverbs 4:4; but the words of Solomon to his son; and not to his son only, in a strict natural relation, but to everyone that came to him for and put himself under his instruction; and to everyone that stood in such a relation to a religious father; for not the divine Being, the Father of all, is here meant, according to some Jewish writers; though the commandment no doubt is the commandment of God taught by godly parents; or such a system of precepts that is founded upon and agrees unto the revealed will of God, and which being so should be laid up and kept in the heart, and not forgotten; and should be observed and attended to and obeyed throughout the whole course of life, as if it was the commandment of God himself; and indeed it is no other than that which pious parents train up their children in the knowledge of, instil into them, and urge upon them the observance of;

and forsake not the law of thy mother; the same as before, and which is mentioned to show that the same respect is to be had to a mother as to a father, the commandment and law of them being the same, and they standing in the same relation; which yet children are apt to make a difference in, and while they stand in awe of their father and his precepts, slight their mother and her directions, which ought not to be. Some understand this of the congregation of Israel, as some Jewish writers; and others of the church of God, the mother of us all.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 6:20. Keep thy father's commandment — See on Proverbs 1:8.
