Proverbs
Chapters 23:1-5
English Revised Version
1When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently him that is before thee;
2And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3Be not desirous of his dainties; seeing they are deceitful meat.
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.
