3desire not his provisions; For these belong to a false life.
4If thou art poor, measure not thyself with a rich man; But refrain thyself in thy wisdom.
5If thou shouldest fix thine eye upon him, he will disappear; For wings like an eagle’s are prepared for him, And he returns to the house of his master.
6Sup not with an envious man, Neither desire thou his meats:
7So he eats and drinks As if anyone should swallow a hair, And do not bring him in to thyself, nor eat thy morsel with him:
8For he will vomit it up, and spoil thy fair words.
9Say nothing in the ears of a fool, Lest at any time he sneer at thy wise words.
10Remove not the ancient landmarks; And enter not upon the possession of the fatherless:
