Proverbs 6:20

New English Translation

²⁰My child,^[a] guard the commands of your father
and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.

Proverbs 6:20 tn The text again has “my son.” In this passage perhaps “son” would be the most fitting because of the warning against the adulterous woman. However, since even in this particular folly the temptation works both ways, the general address to either young men or women is retained. Similar warnings would apply to daughters to be warned of smooth-talking, seductive men.
