9 Do not give your honor to foreigners, and your years to the cruel.
10 Otherwise, outsiders may be filled with your strength, and your labors may be in a foreign house,
11 and you may mourn in the end, when you will have consumed your flesh and your body. And so you may say:
12 'Why have I detested discipline, and why has my heart not been quieted by correction?
13 And why have I not listened to the voice of those who guided me? And why has my ear not inclined to my teachers?
