Proverbs 23:1-8
1When thou sittestH3427 to eatH3898 with a rulerH4910, considerH995 diligentlyH995 what is beforeH6440 thee: 2And putH7760 a knifeH7915 to thy throatH3930, if thou art a man givenH1167 to appetiteH5315. 3Be not desirousH183 of his daintiesH4303: for they are deceitfulH3577 foodH3899.
4LabourH3021 not to be richH6238: ceaseH2308 from thy own wisdomH998. 5Wilt thou setH5774 thy eyesH5869 upon that which is not? for riches certainlyH6213 makeH6213 to themselves wingsH3671; they fly awayH5774 as an eagleH5404 toward heavenH8064.1
6EatH3898 thou not the breadH3899 of him that hath an evilH7451 eyeH5869, neither desireH183 thou his delicaciesH4303: 7For as he thinkethH8176 in his heartH5315, so is he: EatH398 and drinkH8354, saithH559 he to thee; but his heartH3820 is not with thee. 8The morselH6595 which thou hast eatenH398 shalt thou vomit upH6958, and loseH7843 thy sweetH5273 wordsH1697.
