In a Christian Today magazine article posted today, James Macintyre gives the following as one of “10 Bible verses on the stranger”:
4. Let strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich the house of another (Proverbs 5:10).1
Compare what Proverbs 5:10 actually says::
Proverbs 5:7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
