Proverbs 5:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ lest you give your honor to others
    and your years to the merciless;
¹⁰ lest strangers take their fill of your strength,^[a]
    and your labors go to the house of an alien;
¹¹ and at the end of your life you groan,
    when your flesh and body are consumed,
