So that strangers are not filled with your wealth; and your labor is not in the house of a stranger;
He who loves wisdom brings joy to his father: but he that keeps company with harlots spends his wealth.
Do not give 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,
So that you do not 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: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knows not.
But as soon as this your son came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fattened calf.
