Let them not slip from your sight, keep them within your heart;
so I said, “See; I come with an inscribed scroll written upon me.
My son, if you receive my words and treasure my commands,
For it will be well if you hold them within you, if they all are ready on your lips.
My son, do not forget my teaching, take to heart my commands;
My son, do not let these slip from your sight: hold to deliberation and planning;
Do not let love and fidelity forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.
Keep them fastened over your heart always, tie them around your neck.
Bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart.
However, be on your guard and be very careful not to forget the things your own eyes have seen, nor let them slip from your heart as long as you live, but make them known to your children and to your children’s children,
