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.
7. I saw among the naïve, I noticed among the youth, a young man lacking understanding,
8. crossing the street near her corner, walking in the direction of her house,
9. in the twilight of the evening, in the darkest hours of the night.
10. All of a sudden, a woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute and with a cunning heart.
