2And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3Be not desirous of his dainties; seeing they are deceitful food.
4Weary not thyself to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom.
5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon it? it is gone; for riches certainly make themselves wings, like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
6Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties;
7For as one that hath reckoned within himself, so is he: 'Eat and drink', saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9Speak not in the ears of a fool; for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless;
