Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father; but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
Don't give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
He won't regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn't realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn't realize it.
But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'
