3Be not desirous of his meats, in which is the bread of deceit.
4Labour not to be rich: but set bounds to thy prudence.
5Lift not up thy eyes to riches which thou canst not have: because they shall make themselves wings like those of an eagle, and shall fly towards heaven.
6Eat not with an envious man, and desire not his meats:
7Because like a soothsayer, and diviner, he thinketh that which he knoweth not. Eat and drink, will he say to thee: and his mind is not with thee.
8The meats which thou hadst eaten, thou shalt vomit up: and shalt loose thy beautiful words.
9Speak not in the ears of fools: because they will despise the instruction of thy speech.
