Proverbs 5:9-14
New International Version
9 lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity[a] to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.(A)
11 At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!(B)
13 I would not obey my teachers
or turn my ear to my instructors.
14 And I was soon in serious trouble(C)
in the assembly of God’s people.”(D)

9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

Jeremiah 5:3-9
New International Version
Jeremiah 5:3-9
New International Version
3 Lord, do not your eyes(A) look for truth?
You struck(B) them, but they felt no pain;
you crushed them, but they refused correction.(C)
They made their faces harder than stone(D)
and refused to repent.(E)
4 I thought, “These are only the poor;
they are foolish,(F)
for they do not know(G) the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.
5 So I will go to the leaders(H)
and speak to them;
surely they know the way of the Lord,
the requirements of their God.”
But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke
and torn off the bonds.(I)
6 Therefore a lion from the forest(J) will attack them,
a wolf from the desert will ravage(K) them,
a leopard(L) will lie in wait near their towns
to tear to pieces any who venture out,
for their rebellion is great
and their backslidings many.(M)
7 “Why should I forgive you?
Your children have forsaken me
and sworn(N) by gods that are not gods.(O)
I supplied all their needs,
yet they committed adultery(P)
and thronged to the houses of prostitutes.(Q)
8 They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
each neighing for another man’s wife.(R)
9 Should I not punish them for this?”(S)
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(T) myself
on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 5:3-9
King James Version
Jeremiah 5:3-9
King James Version
3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.
5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
