12 You will say, "How I hated to take advice! How my heart refused to be corrected!
13 I would not obey my teachers. I wouldn't listen to those who taught me.
14 I was almost totally destroyed. It happened right in front of the whole community."
15 Drink water from your own well. Drink running water from your own spring.
16 Should your springs pour out into the streets? Should your streams of water pour out in public places?
17 No! Let them belong to you alone. Never share them with strangers.
18 May your fountain be blessed. May the wife you married when you were young make you happy.
