Proverbs 5:7-13

7But now, sons, listen to me, and do not turn away from what I say to you.

8Stay far away from her. Do not even go near her door.

9Either you will surrender your reputation to others and ⌞the rest of⌟ your years to some cruel person,

10or strangers will benefit from your strength and you will have to work hard in a pagan’s house.

11Then you will groan when your end comes, when your body and flesh are consumed. You will say,

12“Oh, how I hated discipline! How my heart despised correction!

13I didn’t listen to what my teachers said to me, nor did I keep my ear open to my instructors.
