Proverbs 5:7-13

7 1Now then, my sons, listen to me And 2do not depart from the words of my mouth.8 3Keep your way far from her And do not go near the 4door of her house,9Or you will give your vigor to others And your years to the cruel one;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 5final end, When your flesh and your body are consumed;12And you say, “How I have 6hated instruction! And my heart 7spurned reproof!13I have not listened to the voice of my 8teachers, Nor inclined my ear to my instructors!
