Proverbs 5:12–13

and you say, “How I hated discipline,

and my heart despised reproof!

I did not listen to the voice of my teachers

or incline my ear to my instructors.

You will say, “How I hated discipline!

How my heart spurned correction!

I would not obey my teachers

or turn my ear to my instructors.

and you will say, “How I hated discipline,

and how my heart despised correction.

I didn’t obey my teachers

or listen closely to my instructors.

You will say, “How I hated discipline!

If only I had not ignored all the warnings!

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

Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?

and say “How I hated discipline,

and I despised reproof!”

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

and I did not incline my ear to my instructors!

And say, How have I hated instruction,

And my heart despised reproof;

And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,

Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
