13 I would not obey my teachers

or turn my ear to my instructors.

13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,

Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

13 Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers?

Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?

13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,

Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

13 I would not listen to my teachers

or pay attention to my instructors.

13 Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers,

Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

13 and I have not hearkened unto the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to those that instructed me;

13 I didn’t listen to what my teachers said to me, 

nor did I keep my ear open to my instructors. 

13 I didn’t obey my teachers

or listen closely to my mentors.

13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers

or incline my ear to my instructors.

13 and “I did not listen to the voice of my teachers,

and I did not incline my ear to my instructors!

13 I would not obey my teachers.

I wouldn’t listen to those who taught me.

13 “I have not listened to the voice of my teachers,

Nor inclined my ear to my instructors!
