Proverbs 5:9-14
English Standard Version
9 lest you give your honor to others
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.”

Jeremiah 5:3-9
English Standard Version
3 O Lord, do not your eyes look for truth?
(A)You have struck them down,
but they felt no anguish;
you have consumed them,
but they refused to take correction.
(B)They have made their faces harder than rock;
they have refused to repent.
4 Then I said, “These are only the poor;
they have no sense;
(C)for they do not know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.
5 I will go to the great
and will speak to them,
for they know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.”
(D)But they all alike had broken the yoke;
they had burst the bonds.
6 Therefore (E)a lion from the forest shall strike them down;
a (F)wolf from the desert shall devastate them.
(G)A leopard is watching their cities;
everyone who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces,
because their transgressions are many,
their (H)apostasies are great.
7 (I)“How can I pardon you?
Your children have forsaken me
(J)and have sworn by those who are no gods.
(K)When I fed them to the full,
(L)they committed adultery
(M)and trooped to the houses of whores.
8 They were well-fed, lusty stallions,
(N)each neighing (O)for his neighbor's wife.
9 (P)Shall I not punish them for these things?
declares the Lord;
and shall I not avenge myself
on a nation such as this?
Psalm 141:5
English Standard Version
5 (A)Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
Yet (B)my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
