"lest strangers devour your strength, and your labor benefit another man’s house."
— Proverbs 5:10, NET Bible
“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 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;”
“Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;”
So now, children, listen to me; do not turn aside from the words I speak.
Keep yourself far from her, and do not go near the door of her house,
lest you give your vigor to others and your years to a cruel person,
lest strangers devour your strength, and your labor benefit another man’s house.
And at the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body are wasted away.
And you will say,“How I hated discipline! My heart spurned reproof!
For I did not obey my teachers and I did not heed my instructors.
