In context
5 Her feet go down to death, and her steps to the underworld;
6 She never keeps her mind on the road of life; her ways are uncertain, she has no knowledge.
7 Give ear to me then, my sons, and do not put away my words from you.

11 And you will be full of grief at the end of your life, when your flesh and your body are wasted;
