Proverbs 5:9-14

9 lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your ^alabors go to the house of a foreigner,
11 and at the end of your life you ^bgroan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12 and you say, ^c“How I hated discipline,
and my heart ^ddespised reproof!
13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 ^eI am at the brink of utter ruin
in the assembled congregation.”
