Proverbs 5:10

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

People you don’t know will take all your wealth. Others will get what you worked for.

See the chapter Copy

Strangers destroy Ephraim’s strength, but Ephraim does not know it. Gray hairs are also sprinkled on Ephraim, but Ephraim does not know it.

Don’t waste your strength on women. Women destroy kings, so don’t waste yourself on them.

No payment—no amount of money—will stop him.

But then this son of yours comes home after wasting your money on prostitutes, and you kill the best calf for him!’

If you do, others will get the honor you should have had. Some stranger will get everything you worked years to get.

At the end of your life, you will be sad that you ruined your health and lost everything you had.

A prostitute might cost a loaf of bread, but the wife of another man could cost you your life.

A son who loves wisdom makes his father happy. One who wastes his money on prostitutes will lose his wealth.
