1-5 Dear friend, do what I tell you;treasure my careful instructions.Do what I say and you’ll live well.My teaching is as precious as your eyesight—guard it!Write it out on the back of your hands;etch it on the chambers of your heart.Talk to Wisdom as to a sister.Treat Insight as your companion.They’ll be with you to fend off the Temptress—that smooth-talking, honey-tongued Seductress.
