2And put a knife to your throat, if you have a strong desire for food.
3Have no desire for his delicate food, for it is the bread of deceit.
4Take no care to get wealth; let there be an end to your desire for money.
5Are your eyes lifted up to it? it is gone: for wealth takes to itself wings, like an eagle in flight up to heaven.
6Do not take the food of him who has an evil eye, or have any desire for his delicate meat:
7For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he: Take food and drink, he says to you; but his heart is not with you.
8The food which you have taken will come up again, and your pleasing words will be wasted.
9Say nothing in the hearing of a foolish man, for he will put no value on the wisdom of your words.
10Do not let the landmark of the widow be moved, and do not go into the fields of those who have no father;
