And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

Verse 11 is found in chapter 5 of Proverbs. The chapter warns against sexual immorality through the image of a woman whose appearance may seem attractive but whose path ultimately leads to bitterness. The language of keeping one’s distance emphasizes that wisdom requires recognizing danger before approaching it. The result of ignoring instruction is described through delayed regret: whoever despises correction eventually laments before others the discipline he rejected.

und müssest hernach seufzen, wenn du Leib und Gut verzehrt hast,
Y gimas en tus postrimerías, Cuando se consumiere tu carne y tu cuerpo,
De peur que tu ne gémisses, près de ta fin, Quand ta chair et ton corps se consumeront,
E che tu non gema alla fine, Quando la tua carne ed il tuo corpo saranno consumati;
E no fim venhas a gemer, no consumir-se da tua carne e do teu corpo.
在你人生終結,你皮肉和身體衰殘時, 你必唉聲嘆氣,
