13. And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And to my teachers have not inclined mine ear.
14. As a little thing I have been all evil, In the midst of an assembly and a company.
15. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones out of thine own well.
16. Let thy fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places rivulets of waters.
17. Let them be to thee for thyself, And not to strangers with thee.
18. Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of thy youth,
19. A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually.
20. And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?
21. For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.
22. His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden.
23. He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his folly magnifieth himself!
