Proverbs 5:10-12
New Catholic Bible
10 lest strangers grow prosperous on your wealth[a]
and your arduous toil enrich another man’s house.
11 Then, at the end of your life, you will groan
when your flesh and your body are consumed.
12 You will say, “Why did I despise discipline
and allow my heart to spurn correction?
