Proverbs 5:10

English Standard Version 2016

lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,

See the chapter Copy

Strangers devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not.

Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings.

He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.

But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’

lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless,

and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed,

for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.

He who loves wisdom makes his father glad, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
