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

9 Lest thou give thy vigour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel;

10 Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in the house of an alien;

11 And thou moan, when thine end cometh, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

12 And say: 'How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

13 Neither have I hearkened to the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

14 I was well nigh in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.'
