Let them not depart from thine eyes;\par\tab Keep them in the midst of thy heart.
My son, let them not depart from thine eyes;\par\tab Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
Let not kindness and truth forsake thee:\par\tab Bind them about thy neck;\par\tab Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:
My son, if thou wilt receive my words,\par\tab And lay up my commandments with thee;
I delight to do thy will, O my God;\par\tab Yea, thy law is within my heart.
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes saw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but make them known unto thy children and thy children's children;
My son, forget not my law;\par\tab But let thy heart keep my commandments:
Bind them continually upon thy heart;\par\tab Tie them about thy neck.
Bind them upon thy fingers;\par\tab Write them upon the tablet of thy heart.
For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee,\par\tab If they be established together upon thy lips.
