Proverbs 5:10-17

¹⁰That strangers may not satisfy themselves with thy strength, and with thy exertions, in the house of an alien:

¹¹While thou moanest at thy end, when thy flesh and thy body are coming to their end,

¹²And thou sayest, How have I hated correction, and how hath my heart rejected reproof;

¹³While I hearkened not to the voice of my instructors, and to my teachers I inclined not my ear;

¹⁴But little more was wanting, and I had been in all kinds of unhappiness in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

¹⁵Drink water out of thy own cistern, and running waters out of thy own well.

¹⁶So will thy springs overflow abroad; and in the open streets will be thy rivulets of water;

¹⁷They will be thy own only, and not those of strangers with thee.
