8. Remove your way far from her,And do not go near the door of her house,
9. Lest you give your honor to others,And your years to the cruel one;
10. Lest aliens be filled with your wealth,And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;
11. And you mourn at last,When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12. And say:“How I have hated instruction,And my heart despised correction!
13. I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
14. I was on the verge of total ruin,In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”
15. Drink water from your own cistern,And running water from your own well.
