Proverbs 6:19-21
Amplified Bible

19 
A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths],
And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.

20 
My son, be guided by your father’s [God-given] commandment (instruction)
And do not [a]reject the teaching of your mother;(A)
21 
Bind them continually upon your heart (in your thoughts),
And tie them around your neck.(B)
