Proverbs 5:11-14 ▼

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.”
