Proverbs 5:12

In context

10strangers will feast on your strength, and your labors will end up in a foreigner’s house, 11and you will groan at your end, when your flesh and your body waste away, 12and you will say, “How I hated discipline, and how my heart spurned reproof! 13I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to those who instructed me. 14I was on the brink of utter ruin in the midst of the assembly and the congregation.”
