Proverbs
Chapters 5:11-17
New International Version Anglicized
11At the end of your life you will groan,when your flesh and body are spent.
12You will say, ‘How I hated discipline!How my heart spurned correction!
13I would not obey my teachersor turn my ear to my instructors.
14And I was soon in serious troublein the assembly of God’s people.’
15Drink water from your own cistern,running water from your own well.
16Should your springs overflow in the streets,your streams of water in the public squares?
17Let them be yours alone,never to be shared with strangers.
