American King James Version
"And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; "
— Proverbs 5:12, American King James Version
“And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;”
“And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof; ”
“and say, "How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;”
“And you will say,“How I hated discipline! My heart spurned reproof!”
“Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof,”
“And you will say, How was teaching hated by me, and my heart put no value on training;”
“And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;”
Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel:
Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors be in the house of a stranger;
And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!
I was almost in all evil in the middle of the congregation and assembly. ¶
Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
