Proverbs 7:1-5

Common English Bible

7 My son, keep my words;
    store up my commands within you.
² Keep my commands and live,
    and my instruction like the pupil 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”;
    call understanding “friend,”
⁵     so she might guard you against the mysterious woman,
        from the foreign woman who flatters you.
