4 Love wisdom like a sister;
make insight a beloved member of your family.

from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman.

4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
And call understanding your intimate friend;
5 In order to keep you from the strange woman,
From the foreign woman who [a]flatters with her words.
