Let them not depart from your sight; keep them within your heart.
My son, let them not depart from your sight; keep sound wisdom and discretion,
Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.
My son, if you will receive my words and hide my commandments within you,
I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”
Only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life, but teach them to your sons, and your grandsons.
My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
Bind them continually on your heart; tie them around your neck.
Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
for it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, and if all of them are ready on your lips.
