8 Keep your way far from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,

and your years to the merciless,
10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your (A)labors go to the house of a foreigner,
11 and at the end of your life you (B)groan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12 and you say, (C)“How I hated discipline,
and my heart (D)despised reproof!
13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 (E)I am at the brink of utter ruin
in the assembled congregation.”
