9 Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;
10 Lest strangers feast on your wealth, And your labors enrich another man`s house.
11 You will groan at your latter end, When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 And say, "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;
13 Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!
14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin, In the midst of the gathered assembly."
15 Drink water out of your own cistern, Running water out of your own well.
