Living by instruction: Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. Keep my commands and you will live establishes the life-or-death stakes. Guard my teachings as the apple of your eye employs the most precious metaphor: the pupil of the eye, which requires constant protection. The young person is called to protect wisdom with the same vigilance he would protect his own vision. Vision is precious; wisdom is as precious as vision.
