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.
