1 My son, remember what I say.Treasure my commands.
2 Obey my commands, and you will live.Protect my teachings as you would your own eyes.
3 Remind yourself of them.Write them down in your mind as if on a tablet.
4 Be good to wisdom as if she were your sister.Make understanding your closest friend.
5 Wisdom and understanding will keep you away from adultery.They will keep you away from the unfaithful wife and her pleasing words.
6 I once was standing at the window of my house.I looked out through the shutters.
7 I saw some foolish, young men.I noticed one of them who had no wisdom.
