Do not weary yourself to gain wealth; Stop dwelling on it.

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Do not eat the bread of a selfish person; Or desire his delicacies;

Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

For as he thinks within himself, so he is. He says to you, "Eat and drink!" But his heart is not with you.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

You will vomit up the morsel you have eaten And waste your compliments.

The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
