3 don’t desire his choice food, for that food is deceptive.
4 Don’t wear yourself out to get rich; stop giving your attention to it.
5 As soon as your eyes fly to it, it disappears, for it makes wings for itselfand flies like an eagle to the sky.
6 Don’t eat a stingy person’s bread, and don’t desire his choice food,
7 for it’s like someone calculating inwardly. “Eat and drink,” he says to you,but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit the little you’ve eatenand waste your pleasant words.
