Proverbs 5:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 5:10

Compare all

8 Remove your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,

9 Lest you give your¹ honor to others,
And your years to the cruel one;

10 Lest aliens be filled with your¹ wealth,
And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;

11 And you mourn at last,
When your flesh and your body are consumed,

12 And say:
“How I have hated instruction,
And my heart despised correction!

13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

14 I was on the verge of total ruin,
In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

15 Drink water from your own cistern,
And running water from your own well.
