2 Observe mes préceptes, et tu vivras; Garde mes enseignements comme la prunelle de tes yeux.

3 Lie-les sur tes doigts, Écris-les sur la table de ton cœur.

4 Dis à la sagesse: Tu es ma sœur! Et appelle l’intelligence ton amie,

5 Pour qu’elles te préservent de la femme étrangère, De l’étrangère qui emploie des paroles doucereuses.

6 J’étais à la fenêtre de ma maison, Et je regardais à travers mon treillis.
