1-My son, keep my words,
And treasure my commands within you.
2-Keep my commands and live,
And my law as the apple of your eye.
3-Bind them on your fingers;
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4-Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
And call understanding your nearest kin,
5-That they may keep you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words.
