lest strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich the house of another.

Strangers will use up all your wealth. Your hard work will make someone else rich.

lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,

Strangers will consume your wealth, and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.

And strangers will be filled with your strength, And your hard earned possessions will go to the house of a foreigner;

Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;

But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
