Proverbs 5:13
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
In context
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; And thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 11 And thou mourn at the last, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof; 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! 14 I was almost in all evil In the midst of the congregation and assembly.
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well. 16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, And rivers of waters in the streets.
