1. My son, remember what I say.Treasure my commands.
2. Obey my commands, and you will live.Protect my teachings as you would your own eyes.
3. Remind yourself of them.Write them down in your mind as if on a tablet.
4. Be good to wisdom as if she were your sister.Make understanding your closest friend.
5. Wisdom and understanding will keep you away from adultery.They will keep you away from the unfaithful wife and her pleasing words.
6. I once was standing at the window of my house.I looked out through the shutters.
7. I saw some foolish, young men.I noticed one of them who had no wisdom.
