7:1 我儿,你要遵守我的言语,
将我的命令存记在心。
7:2 遵守我的命令就得存活。
保守我的法则(注:或作“指教”),
好像保守眼中的瞳人,
7:3 系在你指头上,
刻在你心版上。
7:4 对智慧说:“你是我的姊妹”,
称呼聪明为你的亲人,
7:5 她就保你远离淫妇,
远离说谄媚话的外女。
1My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.
2Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
4Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your kinsman;
5they will keep you from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words.
