Proverbs 5:8-15

⁸Remove far from her thy way, and come not nigh to the door of her house;

⁹That thou mayest not give up unto others thy vigor, and thy years unto the cruel;

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.
