In context
9 Lest thou give, to other men, thy vigour, and thy years, to him that is cruel:
10 Lest strange men, be well fed, by thy strength, and, thy toils, be in the house of the alien.
11 So shalt thou grieve in thy latter end, in the failing of thy flesh and of thy healthy condition;
12 And thou shalt say—How I hated correction! and, reproof, my heart disdained;
13 Neither hearkened I to the voice of my teachers, nor, to my instructors, inclined I mine ear:
14 Soon was I in all evil, in the midst of convocation and assembly.
15 Drink thou water out of thine own cistern, and flowing streams out of the midst of thine own well.
