9 lest you give your honor to others,and your years to the cruel;
10 lest strangers be filled with your wealth,and your labors go to the house of a stranger;
11 and you mourn at the last,when your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 and say, “How I have hated instruction,and my heart despised reproof!
13 And I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
14 I was almost in utter ruinin the midst of the congregation and assembly.”
15 Drink waters out of your own cistern,and running waters out of your own well.
