Proverbs 5:12

Avoid Seduction

¹¹
And you will groan when your life is ending,
When your flesh and your body are consumed;
¹² 
And you say, “How I hated instruction and discipline,
And my heart despised correction and reproof!
¹³
“I have not listened to the voice of my teachers,
Nor have I inclined my ear to those who instructed me.
