1 My child, guard my sayings; store my commandments with you.
2 Keep my commands and live, and my teaching like 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 you shall call insight, “intimate friend.”
5 In order to guard yourself from an adulteress, from the foreigner who makes her words smooth.
