Say unto wisdom, you are my sister; and call understanding your kinswoman:
I have said to corruption, You are my father: to the worm, You are my mother, and my sister.
Bind them upon your fingers, write them upon the table of your heart.
That they may keep you from the immoral woman, from the seductress who flatters with her words.
O that you were as my brother, that nursed at the breasts of my mother! if I should find you outside, I would kiss you; yea, I would not be despised.
