9Lest thou give thy vigour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel;
10Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in the house of an alien;
11And thou moan, when thine end cometh, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12And say: 'How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13Neither have I hearkened to the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14I was well nigh in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.'
15Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16Let thy springs be dispersed abroad, and courses of water in the streets.
17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
