4Fatigue thyself not to become rich; because thou hast understanding, forbear.
5When thou lettest merely thy eyes fly over it, it is no more: for it will ever make itself wings: like an eagle will it fly toward heaven.
6Eat not the bread of a man with an evil eye, and do not long for his savory meats;
7For as though there were a division in his soul, so doth he act: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8Thy morsel which thou hast eaten must thou spit out, and thou hast wasted thy pleasant words.
9Speak not before the ears of a fool; for he will despise the intelligence of thy words.
10Remove not the ancient landmark, and into the fields of the fatherless must thou not enter;
11For their redeemer is strong; he will indeed plead their cause with thee.
12Apply thy heart unto instruction, and thy ears to the sayings of knowledge.
13Withhold not from a lad correction; for if thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.
14Thou wilt indeed beat him with the rod; but thou wilt deliver his soul from perdition.
