8 Keep far from her thy way, and do not go near the opening of her house:

9 Lest thou give, to other men, thy vigour, and thy years, to him that is cruel:

10 Lest strange men, be well fed, by thy strength, and, thy toils, be in the house of the alien.

11 So shalt thou grieve in thy latter end, in the failing of thy flesh and of thy healthy condition;

12 And thou shalt sayHow I hated correction! and, reproof, my heart disdained;

13 Neither hearkened I to the voice of my teachers, nor, to my instructors, inclined I mine ear:

14 Soon was I in all evil, in the midst of convocation and assembly.
