5. Her feet go down to death, her steps lead straight to Sheol.
6. She does not keep straight to the path of life, her paths are crooked —but she does not know it.
7. So now, my sons, listen to me and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.
8. Keep your path far from her and do not go near the door of her house—
9. lest you give your strength to others and your years to one who is cruel;
10. lest strangers feast on your strength, your labors go to a foreigner’s house.
11. At the end of your life, you will groan, when your flesh and body are spent—
12. and you will say, “How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned reproof!
13. I would not listen to my teacher’s voice or incline my ear to my instructors.
14. I was almost in utter ruin amid the community and congregation.”
15. Drink water from your own cistern and running water from your own well.
