1 My son, keep my words,And treasure my commands within you.
2 Keep my commands and live,And my law as 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 call understanding your nearest kin,
5 That they may keep you from the immoral woman,From the seductress who flatters with her words.
