9. Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the fierce,
10. Lest strangers be filled [with] thy power, And thy labours in the house of a stranger,
11. And thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption of thy flesh and thy food,
12. And hast said, `How have I hated instruction, And reproof hath my heart despised,
13. And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And to my teachers have not inclined mine ear.
14. As a little thing I have been all evil, In the midst of an assembly and a company.
15. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones out of thine own well.
