Proverbs 4:21 urges keeping wisdom's words in heart, directly reinforcing the command to not forsake wisdom for protection.

In Proverbs 2:10-12, this same protection is expanded: wisdom enters the heart, and discretion and understanding actively guard you from evil.

Proverbs 3:16 lists specific rewards wisdom offers — long life, riches, honor — complementing the general protection promised here.

Proverbs 7:4 calls wisdom 'sister' and insight 'intimate friend' — a direct invitation to love wisdom as urged here.

Proverbs 19:8 says whoever gets sense loves his own soul — the same link between loving wisdom and benefiting oneself.

In Proverbs 6:21, keeping parental commands bound on your heart parallels 'do not forsake wisdom' — both stress clinging to instruction.

Proverbs 11:9 says the righteous are delivered by knowledge, similar to wisdom’s protection — but focuses on rescue from slander.

In Philippians 4:7, God’s peace guards hearts and minds — a New Testament parallel to wisdom’s guarding, though from a different source.
