Proverbs 5:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ If you do, strangers will help themselves to your wealth,
    and everything you have worked hard to acquire will end up in someone else’s hands.
¹¹ Your life will end with groanings of remorse, of opportunities missed,
    and your flesh and bones will be eaten up with sorrow, regret for worthless efforts.
¹² Then you’ll say, “Why did I hate being taught?
    Why did I turn my back on correction?
