Proverbs 5:10

American Standard Version (1901)

Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien,

See the chapter Copy

Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth it not.

Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

He will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.

Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;

And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
