Proverbs 7:4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call insight your intimate friend,

See the chapter Copy

if I say to the Pit, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’

bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.

that they may keep you from the loose woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.

O that you were like a brother to me, who nursed at my mother’s breast! If I met you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.
