NETBible

lest strangers devour¹ your strength,² and your labor³ benefit⁴ another man’s house.

NET Notes

¹tn Or “are sated, satisfied.”

²tn 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.

³tn “labor, painful toil.”

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