Proverbs 5:10

“Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, etc.] The adulteress, her husband, children, friends, bawds, and such like persons she is concerned with; these share the wealth of the adulterer, abound with it, and live profusely on it, until he is stripped quite bare and destitute: or, “with thy strength”; (see Gill on “<200509>Proverbs 5:9”).

“Strangers - Not only the strange women themselves, but others who are in league with them. Labors - Wealth gotten by thy labours. Proverbs 5:14”

“strangers: Pro 6:35; Hos 7:9; Luk 15:30 wealth: Heb. strength, Pro 31:3 Proverbs 5:11”
