And you neglected all my counsel
And did not want my reproof;

Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the Lord.

For her house sinks down to death
And her tracks lead to the dead;

“I was due to offer peace offerings;
Today I have paid my vows.

But he does not know that the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the Lord,
And He will repay him for his good deed.

A man who wanders from the way of understanding
Will rest in the assembly of the dead.

So that your trust may be in the Lord,
I have taught you today, even you.

“They struck me, but I did not become ill;
They beat me, but I did not know it.
When shall I awake?
I will seek another drink.”

If you say, “See, we did not know this,”
Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts?
And does He not know it who keeps your soul?
And will He not render to man according to his work?
