1 My son, obey my words,and treasure my commands.
2 Keep my commands and live; protect my teachingsas the pupil of your eye.
3 Tie them to your fingers;write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your relative.
5 She will keep you from a forbidden woman,a stranger with her flattering talk.
6 At the window of my houseI looked through my lattice.
7 I saw among the inexperienced, I noticed among the youths,a young man lacking sense.
