- My son, keep my words And treasure my commandments within you.
- Keep my commandments and live, And my teaching as the apple of your eye.
- Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
- Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," And call understanding your intimate friend;
- That they may keep you from an adulteress, From the foreigner who flatters with her words.

- My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.
- Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
- Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
- Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call understanding your kinsman;
- they will keep you from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words.
