Proverbs 5:13 in context

Proverbs 5:10–16

10

lest strangers feast on your wealth,

and your labors enrich another man’s house.

11

You will groan at your latter end,

when your flesh and your body are consumed,

12

and say, “How I have hated instruction,

and my heart despised reproof.

13
Selected verse

I haven’t obeyed the voice of my teachers,

nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!

14

I have come to the brink of utter ruin,

among the gathered assembly.”

15

Drink water out of your own cistern,

running water out of your own well.

16

Should your springs overflow in the streets,

streams of water in the public squares?
