8. Remove your way far from her, and come not near the door of her house:
9. Lest you give your honor unto others, and your years unto the merciless:
10. Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors go to the house of a foreigner;
11. And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
12. And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13. And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!
14. I was almost in utter ruin in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
15. Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
16. Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets?
17. Let them be only for your own, and not for strangers with you.
