Proverbs
Chapters 5:10-16
Amplified Bible
10Lest strangers [and false teachings] take their fill of your strength and wealth and your labors go to the house of an alien [from God]–
11And you groan and mourn when your end comes, when your flesh and body are consumed,
12And you say, How I hated instruction and discipline, and my heart despised reproof!
13I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers nor submitted and consented to those who instructed me.
14[The extent and boldness of] my sin involved almost all evil [in the estimation] of the congregation and the community.
15Drink waters out of your own cistern [of a pure marriage relationship], and fresh running waters out of your own well.
16Should your offspring be dispersed abroad as water brooks in the streets?
