PROVERBS 23:5-11

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 reckoneth 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 shall plead their cause against thee.
