King James Version with Apocrypha
"Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;"
— Proverbs 5:10, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;”
“Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien, ”
“lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man's house.”
“lest strangers devour your strength, and your labor benefit another man’s house.”
“Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in another man's house,”
“And strange men may be full of your wealth, and the fruit of your work go to the house of others;”
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy 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 mine ear to them that instructed me!
