Proverbs 5:7-14 Now therefore, my son, hearken to me and slight not my words.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Now therefore, my son, hearken to me and slight not my words. ⁸ Remove thy way far from her, go not near the doors of her house; ⁹ That thou mayst not give thy life to others, and thy substance to the cruel: ¹⁰ that strangers may not be filled with thy wealth, and thy labours go into the houses of strangers, ¹¹ and thou at last be grieved. When the flesh of thy body is consumed, ¹² then thou wilt say, "How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof! ¹³ I hearkened not to the voice of him who instructed me and taught me; nor have I inclined mine ear. ¹⁴ I have been almost in all evil, in the midst of the assembly and congregation."
