Proverbs 5:7-14
7
Now then, my sons, listen to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
8
Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house,
9
lest you give your best strength to others
and your years to one who is cruel,
10
lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich another man’s house.
11
At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12
You will say, “How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!
13
I would not obey my teachers
or listen to my instructors.
14
I have come to the brink of utter ruin
in the midst of the whole assembly.”
