Proverbs 5:8-13

English Standard Version

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