Proverbs 7:4

English Standard Version 2016

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call insight your intimate friend,

See the chapter Copy

Oh that you were like a brother to me who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I found you outside, I would kiss you, and none would despise me.

if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.

to keep you from the forbidden woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.
