Treat wisdom as your sister, and insight as your closest friend.
I will call the grave my father, and the worms that eat me I will call my mother and my sisters.
Keep my teaching with you all the time; write it on your heart.
They will keep you away from other men's wives, from women with seductive words.
I wish that you were my brother, that my mother had nursed you at her breast. Then, if I met you in the street, I could kiss you and no one would mind.
