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