Proverbs 5:7-13

7 1Now then, my sons, listen to me And 2do not turn away from the words of my mouth.8 3Keep your way far from her, And do not go near the 4door of her house,9Otherwise 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 possessions will go to the house of a foreigner;11And you will groan 5in 6the end, When your flesh and your body are consumed;12And you say, “How I 7hated instruction! And my heart 8disdainfully rejected rebuke!13I did not listen to the voice of my 9teachers, Nor incline my ear to my instructors!
