Proverbs

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.
