Did you mistakenly put your money in someone elses bank account? Proverbs 5-6

And strangers will be filled with your strength And your hard- earned goods will go to the house of an alien;
Proverbs 5:21
What a hard proverb to meditate upon.   Solomon is telling his "son" (his actual son, and us, his "sons" in faith) that if they fall prey to the sensual women (a personification of Miss Folly) this proverb will be the result.   He tells us that our strength will actually be transferred to others and out goods will find there way into someone else's bank accounts.   I cam currently observing a very ugly divorce (is there a pretty divorce?) between two wealthy people.   They are so set on hate that they want to "stick it" to the other person.   In order to do that (and follow Folly) they will have to pay their lawyers great sums of money.   One of them was overheard recently saying I would rather give it to the attorney than the ex!!!!   Well, there is Proverbs 5:10 in all its splendor.  They are exhausted and broke.   Once vibrant and wealthy their strength has disappeared and their wealth was transferred to another's bank.  When we listen to Folly we can expect nothing but bad results.
