Proverbs 7:1

My child, ²  keep my words and treasure up my commands in your own keeping. ³ 

My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.

My son, keep my words And treasure my commandments within you.

Follow my advice, my son; always treasure my commands.

Dear friend, do what I tell you; treasure my careful instructions.

My son, keep my sayings, and let my rules be stored up with you.

My child, keep my words and store up my commandments with you;

My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you.

My child, ²  keep my words and treasure up my commands in your own keeping. ³ 

¹ sn The chapter begins with the important teaching of the father (1-5), then it focuses on the seduction: first of the victim (6-9), then the temptress (10-12), then the seduction (13-20), and the capitulation (21-23); the chapter concludes with the deadly results of consorting (24-27).

² tn Heb “my son.”

³ tn Heb “within you” (so NASB, NIV); KJV, ASV, NRSV “with you.” BDB 860 s.v. צָפַן Qal.1 suggests that “within you” means “in your own keeping.”
