Proverbs 5:10

Context

5:10 lest strangers devour 1  your strength, 2 

and your labor 3  benefit 4  another man’s house.

1 tn Or “are sated, satisfied.”

2 tn The word כֹּחַ (coakh, “strength”) refers to what laborious toil would produce (so a metonymy of cause). Everything that this person worked for could become the property for others to enjoy.

3 tn “labor, painful toil.”

4 tn The term “benefit” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness.
