4Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom.
5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? 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 he thinketh 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 hearing 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:
11For their Redeemer is strong; He will plead their cause against thee.
12Apply thy heart unto instruction, And thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13Withhold not correction from the child; For if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.
14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.
