11And thou mourn it the last, when thou shalt have spent thy flesh and thy body, and say:
12Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof,
13And have not heard the voice of them that taught me, and have not inclined my ear to masters?
14I have almost been in all evil, in the midst of the church and of the congregation.
