5:8 Keep yourself 1 far 2 from her,
and do not go near the door of her house,
5:9 lest you give your vigor 3 to others
and your years to a cruel person,
5:10 lest strangers devour 4 your strength, 5
and your labor 6 benefit 7 another man’s house.
5:11 And at the end of your life 8 you will groan 9
when your flesh and your body are wasted away. 10
5:12 And you will say, “How I hated discipline!
My heart spurned reproof!
5:13 For 11 I did not obey my teachers 12
and I did not heed 13 my instructors. 14
5:14 I almost 15 came to complete ruin 16
in the midst of the whole congregation!” 17
