Proverbs 5:10

Modern King James Version

that strangers not be filled with your strength, and your labors be in the house of a stranger;

See the chapter Copy

Whoever loves wisdom rejoices his father; but a companion of harlots wastes wealth.

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

and you moan when your end comes, when your flesh and muscle are eaten away,

lest you give your honor to others and your years to the cruel;

For by means of a harlot a man comes to a piece of bread; and another man's wife will hunt for the precious life.

He will not take any ransom; nor will he be willing if you multiply the gifts.

Strangers have eaten up his strength, and he does not know. Yea, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he knows it not.

But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fattened calf.
