Proverbs 5:12 in context

  1. 10Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien,
  2. 11And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
  3. 12And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;
  4. 13Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
  5. 14I was well-nigh in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation.
