11 and you may mourn in the end, when you will have consumed your flesh and your body. And so you may say:
12 "Why have I detested discipline, and why has my heart not been quieted by correction?
13 And why have I not listened to the voice of those who guided me? And why has my ear not inclined to my teachers?
14 I have almost been with all evil in the midst of the church and of the assembly."
15 Drink water from your own cistern and from the springs of your own well.
16 Let your fountains be diverted far and wide, and divide your waters in the streets.
17 Hold them for yourself alone, and do not let strangers be partakers with you.
