1 My son, keep my words and treasure my mitzvot within you.
2 Keep my mitzvot and live, my teaching 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 relative.
5 They will keep you from a seducing woman, from the foreign woman with her seductive speech.
6 For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice.
