1 My son, remember my words. Don’t forget what I have told you.
2 Consider my teaching as precious as your own eyes. Obey my commands, and you will have a good life.
3 Tie them around your finger. Write them on your heart.
4 Treat wisdom like the woman you love and knowledge like the one dearest to you.
5 Wisdom will save you from that other woman, the other man’s wife, who tempts you with such sweet words.
