Proverbs

¹²And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof; ¹³Neither have I obeyed 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 assembly and congregation. ¹⁵Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well. ¹⁶Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, And streams of water in the streets? ¹⁷Let them be for thyself alone, And not for strangers with thee. ¹⁸Let thy fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of thy youth.
