Proverbs 5:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Lest you give your honor[a] to others,(A)
and your years to a merciless one;
10 Lest outsiders take their fill of your wealth,
and your hard-won earnings go to another’s house;
11 And you groan in the end,
when your flesh and your body are consumed;
