Proverbs 5:7-12 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

7. So now, listen to me, you children, And do not turn away from the words of my mouth.

8. Keep your way far from her, And do not come near the door of her house,

9. Lest you give your splendour to others, And your years to one who is cruel;

10. Lest strangers be filled with your strength, And your labours go to the house of a foreigner.

11. Then you shall howl in your latter end, When your flesh and your body are consumed,

12. And shall say, “How I have hated discipline, And my heart has despised reproof!
