^{8 Ref} Go far away from her, do not come near the door of her house;

^{9 Ref} For fear that you may give your honour to others, and your wealth to strange men:

^{10 Ref} And strange men may be full of your wealth, and the fruit of your work go to the house of others;

^{11 Ref} And you will be full of grief at the end of your life, when your flesh and your body are wasted;

^{12 Ref} And you will say, How was teaching hated by me, and my heart put no value on training;

^{13 Ref} I did not give attention to the voice of my teachers, my ear was not turned to those who were guiding me!

^{14 Ref} I was in almost all evil in the company of the people.

^{15 Ref} Let water from your store and not that of others be your drink, and running water from your fountain.

^{8 Ref} Remove your way far from her. Don't come near the door of her house,

^{9 Ref} Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;

^{10 Ref} Lest strangers feast on your wealth, And your labors enrich another man's house.

^{11 Ref} You will groan at your latter end, When your flesh and your body are consumed,

^{12 Ref} And say, "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;

^{13 Ref} Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!

^{14 Ref} I have come to the brink of utter ruin, In the midst of the gathered assembly."

^{15 Ref} Drink water out of your own cistern, Running water out of your own well.

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

^{9 Ref} Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

^{10 Ref} Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

^{11 Ref} And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

^{12 Ref} And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

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

^{14 Ref} I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

^{15 Ref} Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
