7 Now then, my sons, listen to me;do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Keep to a path far from her,do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you lose your honour to othersand your dignity to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealthand your toil enrich the house of another.
11 At the end of your life you will groan,when your flesh and body are spent.
12 You will say, ‘How I hated discipline!How my heart spurned correction!
13 I would not obey my teachersor turn my ear to my instructors.
