11 At the end of your life, you will be sad that you ruined your health and lost everything you had.
12-13 Then you will say, “Why didn’t I listen to my parents? Why didn’t I pay attention to my teachers? I didn’t want to be disciplined. I refused to be corrected.
14 So now I have suffered through just about every kind of trouble anyone can have, and everyone knows it.”
15 Now, about sex and marriage: Drink only the water that comes from your own well,
16 and don’t let your water flow out into the streets.
17 Keep it for yourself, and don’t share it with strangers.
18 Be happy with your own wife. Enjoy the woman you married while you were young.
