| Proverbs 5:12 | And say, "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof; | And you will say, How was teaching hated by me, and my heart put no value on training; |
| Proverbs 5:13 | Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor turned my ear to those who instructed me! | I did not give attention to the voice of my teachers, my ear was not turned to those who were guiding me! |
| Proverbs 5:14 | I have come to the brink of utter ruin, In the midst of the gathered assembly." | I was in almost all evil in the company of the people. |
