Context of Proverbs 5:12
10And strangers will be filled with your strength And your hard-earned goods will go to the house of an alien; 11And you groan at your final end, When your flesh and your body are consumed; And you say, “How I have hated instruction! And my heart spurned reproof! 13I have not listened to the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to my instructors! 14I was almost in utter ruin In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”
