7 My son,^(A) keep my words
    and store up my commands within you.
² Keep my commands and you will live;^(B)
    guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
³ Bind them on your fingers;
    write them on the tablet of your heart.^(C)
4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
    and to insight, “You are my relative.”
⁵ They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
    from the wayward woman with her seductive words.^(D)
