Proverbs 5:9-14

⁹lest you concede your vigor to others,

and your years to one who is cruel;

¹⁰lest strangers feast on your wealth,

and your labors enrich the house of a foreigner.

¹¹At the end of your life you will groan

when your flesh and your body are spent,

¹²and you will say, “How I hated discipline,

and my heart despised reproof!

¹³I did not listen to the voice of my teachers

or incline my ear to my mentors.

¹⁴I am on the brink of utter ruin

in the midst of the whole assembly.”
