8 Make far thy way from her, and nigh thou not to the doors of her house.

9 Give thou not thine honour to aliens, and thy years to the cruel;

10 lest peradventure strangers be filled with thy strengths, and lest thy travails be in an alien’s house;

11 and thou bewail in the last days, when thou hast wasted thy flesh, and thy body;

12 and say, Why loathed I teaching, and mine heart assented not to blamings;

13 neither I heard the voice of men teaching me, and I bowed not down mine ear to masters?

14 Almost I was in all-evil, in the midst of the church, and of the synagogue.
