Proverbs 7:1-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

7 My son,
pay attention to my words.
Treasure my commands that are within you.
² Obey my commands so that you may live.
Follow my teachings just as you protect the pupil of your eye.
³ Tie them on your fingers.
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
⁴ Say to wisdom, “You are my sister.”
Give the name “my relative” to understanding
⁵ in order to guard yourself from an adulterous woman,
from a loose woman with her smooth talk.
