ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૫:૧૨
તું કહીશ કે, “મેં કેવી રીતે શિખામણનો ધિક્કાર કર્યો છે અને મારા હૃદયે ઠપકાને તુચ્છ ગણ્યો છે!
हिन्दीनीतिवचन ५:१२
तू यह कहेगा “मैंने शिक्षा से कैसा बैर किया, और डाँटनेवाले का कैसा तिरस्कार किया!

In context

10lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man’s house.

11You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,

12and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.

13I haven’t obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!

14I have come to the brink of utter ruin, among the gathered assembly.”
