Proverbs 5:10

American King James Version (1999)

Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors be in the house of a stranger;

See the chapter Copy

Whoever loves wisdom rejoices his father: but he that keeps company with harlots spends his substance.

Give not your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.

And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,

Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel:

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.

Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knows it not: yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he knows not.

But as soon as this your son was come, which has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.
