Proverbs 7:1-11

Wycliffe WYC

1 My son, keep thou my words; and keep my behests to thee. (My son, remember my words; and keep my commands with thee.)

2 Keep thou my behests, and thou shalt live; and my law, as the apple of thine eye. (Keep thou my commands, and thou shalt live; and my instructions, or my teaching, as the apple of thine eyes.)

3 Bind thou it in thy fingers; write thou it in the tables of thine heart. (Bind thou it to thy fingers; write thou it on the tablets of thy heart.)

4 Say thou to wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call thou prudence thy love (and call thou understanding, thy friend).

6 (For she saith,) For why from the window of mine house, by the lattice, I beheld;

11 and she is a jangler, and going about, and unpatient of rest, and may not stand in the house with her feet; (and she is a gossip, who goeth about restlessly, yea, who cannot stand still in her own house;)
