Proverbs 5:8-18

8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

8 Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house,

9 Lest thou give thy honor to others, and thy years to the cruel:

9 lest you lose your honor to others and your dignity to one who is cruel,

10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labors [be] in the house of a stranger;

10 lest strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich the house of another.

11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

11 At the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh and body are spent.

12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

12 You will say, “How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned correction!

13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!

13 I would not obey my teachers or turn my ear to my instructors.

14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

14 And I was soon in serious trouble in the assembly of God’s people.”

15 Drink waters out of thy own cistern, and running waters out of thy own well.

15 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, [and] rivers of waters in the streets.

16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?

17 Let them be only thy own, and not for strangers with thee.

17 Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
