1 My son, watch my words, and thou shalt hide my commands with thee. 2 Watch my commands, and live; and my law as the pupil of thine eyes. 3 Bind them upon thy fingers, and write them upon the tablet of thine heart. 4 Say to wisdom, Thou my sister; and thou shalt call knowledge to understanding: 5 To watch thyself from the strange woman, from the stranger making smooth her sayings. 6 For in the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice, 7 And I shall see among the simple, I shall perceive among the sons a youth wanting heart, 8 Passing in the street near her corner; and he will step the way of her house, 9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night, in the thick darkness: Proverbs 7:1-9, Smith's Literal Translation.
