Proverbs

²Consider my teaching as precious as your own eyes. Obey my commands, and you will have a good life. ³Tie them around your finger. Write them on your heart. ⁴Treat wisdom like the woman you love and knowledge like the one dearest to you. ⁵Wisdom will save you from that other woman, the other man’s wife, who tempts you with such sweet words. ⁶One day I was looking out my window ⁷at some foolish teenagers and noticed one who had no sense at all. ⁸He was walking through the marketplace and came to the corner where a certain woman lived. He then turned up the road that goes by her house.
