7:1 My child, 2 keep my words
and treasure up my commands in your own keeping. 3
7:2 Keep my commands 4 so that you may live, 5
and obey 6 my instruction as your most prized possession. 7
7:3 Bind them on your forearm; 8
write them on the tablet of your heart. 9
7:4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” 10
and call understanding a close relative,
7:5 so that they may keep you 11 from the adulterous 12 woman,
from the loose woman 13 who flatters you 14 with her words. 15
