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.
