3Be not desirous of his dainties: For they are deceitful meat.
4Labour not to be rich: Cease from thine own wisdom.
5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7For as he thinketh in his heart, 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 old landmark; And enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11For their Redeemer is mighty; He shall plead their cause with thee.
12Apply thine heart unto instruction, And thine ears to the words of knowledge.
