Pro 5:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12–13 : When people finally realize what they have done, they will be filled with regret. They will say, “How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof” (Proverbs 5:12 ). They will remember that parents and teachers tried to warn them, but they did not listen or obey (Proverbs 5:13 ). Those who have had good teaching but ignore it will have much to answer for.
