If you allow strangers to live with you, they will twist you around in confusion and make you a stranger to your own family.
Of one spark cometh a great fire, and of one deceitful man much blood: and a sinful man lieth in wait for blood.
If you bring a stranger home with you, it will only cause trouble, even between you and your own family.
Admit strangers into your home, and they will stir up trouble and make you a stranger to your own family.
If you invite a stranger into your home, he will stir up trouble for you and will estrange you from your own family.
Receive strangers into your home and they will stir up trouble for you, and will make you a stranger to your own family.
Receive strangers into your home and they will stir up trouble for you, and will make you a stranger to your own family.
Receive strangers into your home and they will stir up trouble for you, and will make you a stranger to your own family.
Receive strangers into your home, and they will stir up trouble for you and will make you a stranger to your own family.
Receive a stranger into your home and he will upset you with commotion, and will estrange you from your family.
Receive a stranger into your home and he will upset you with commotion, and will estrange you from your family.
Receive thou an alien to thee, and he shall destroy thee in a whirlwind, and he shall make thee alien (or alienated) from thine own ways. [Receive to thee an alien woman, and she shall turn thee upside-down in a whirlwind, and alien(ate) thee from thy proper ways.]
