1. My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. 2. Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings 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 kinsman; 5. They will keep you from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words. 27. Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death.
