Proverbi 5:13

13 come ho fatto a non ascoltare la voce di chi m’ammaestrava, e a non porger l’orecchio a chi m’insegnava?

Proverbi 5:13 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 5:13

And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers
Parents, tutors, masters, and ministers of the word; neither regarded the advice of parents, nor the instructions of tutors, nor the commands of masters, nor the sermons of ministers: these are all lost on some persons; they are proof against them all; these make no impressions upon them, and are of no use to them; nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
or to my masters, as the Targum and Vulgate Latin version; turned away the ear from them, stopped it to them, and would not hear what they had to say; at least would not receive it, and act according to it.

Proverbi 5:13 In-Context

11 perché tu non abbia a gemere quando verrà la tua fine, quando la tua carne e il tuo corpo saran consumati,
12 e tu non dica: "Come ho fatto a odiare la correzione, come ha potuto il cuor mio sprezzare la riprensione?
13 come ho fatto a non ascoltare la voce di chi m’ammaestrava, e a non porger l’orecchio a chi m’insegnava?
14 poco mancò che non mi trovassi immerso in ogni male, in mezzo al popolo ed all’assemblea".
15 Bevi l’acqua della tua cisterna, l’acqua viva del tuo pozzo
