New Testament

Proverbs 5:8-14 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. Stay on a path that is far from her;don’t approach the entrance to her house.

9. Otherwise, you will give your strength to others,your years to a cruel person.

10. Otherwise, strangers will sap your strength,and your hard work will end up in a foreigner’s house.

11. You will groan at the endwhen your body and flesh are exhausted,

12. and you say, "How I hated instruction!How my heart despised correction!

13. I didn’t listen to the voice of my instructor.I didn’t obey my teacher.

14. I’m on the brink of utter ruinin the assembled community."
