Say to wisdom, You are my sister, and call understanding your kinswoman,
Who can give You to me, as my brother, suckling the breasts of my mother? If I find You outside, I would kiss You. They also would not despise me.
I have called to corruption, You are my father; to the worm, My mother and my sister.
Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
to keep you from the strange woman, from the foreign one with her flattering words.
