American Standard Version

Proverbs 5:12-17 American Standard Version (ASV)

12. And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;

13. Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

14. I was well-nigh in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation.

15. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well.

16. Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, And streams of water in the streets?

17. Let them be for thyself alone, And not for strangers with thee.
