Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 7 of Proverbs. The exhortation again asks that the commandments be kept as something precious and close to the heart. Wisdom should become an intimate companion, even compared to a sister. This personification prepares the scene for the seductive woman in the rest of the chapter: the best defense against temptation is not improvised resistance, but having previously cultivated a deep relationship with instruction.

Behalte meine Gebote, so wirst du leben, und mein Gesetz wie deinen Augapfel.
Guarda mis mandamientos, y vivirás; Y mi ley como las niñas de tus ojos.
Observe mes préceptes, et tu vivras; Garde mes enseignements comme la prunelle de tes yeux.
Guarda i miei comandamenti, e tu viverai; E guarda il mio insegnamento, come la pupilla degli occhi tuoi.
Guarda os meus mandamentos e vive; e a minha lei, como a menina dos teus olhos.
遵守我的命令就得存活, 謹守我的教誨,好像保護眼中的瞳人。
