Proverbs

⁶So that she findeth not the level path of life: her ways are unstable and she knoweth it not. ⁷Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, and depart not from the words of my mouth. ⁸Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: ⁹Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: ¹⁰Lest strangers be filled with thy strength; and thy labours be in the house of an alien; ¹¹And thou mourn at thy latter end, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, ¹²And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
