1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest diligently that which is before thee, 2 And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou art a man of appetite. 3 Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it is lying food. 4 Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not. 5 For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens. Proverbs 23:1-5, Young's Literal Translation. Public domain.
