Beware of the Adulteress

My son, keep my words,
    and lay up my commandments within you.
Keep my commandments and live,
    and my teaching as the apple of your eye.
Bind them on your fingers;
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
    and call understanding your kinswoman,
that they may keep you from the immoral woman,
    from the seductress who flatters with her words.

Bind them upon thy fingers; write them upon the tablet of thine heart.

Say unto wisdom, “Thou art my sister,” and call understanding thy kinswoman,

that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the harlot who flattereth with her words.
