Proverbs
Chapters 23:4-10
New International Version Anglicized
4Do not wear yourself out to get rich;do not trust your own cleverness.
5Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,for they will surely sprout wingsand fly off to the sky like an eagle.Saying 9
6Do not eat the food of a stingy host,do not crave his delicacies;
7for he is the kind of personwho is always thinking about the cost.‘Eat and drink,’ he says to you,but his heart is not with you.
8You will vomit up the little you have eatenand will have wasted your compliments.Saying 10
9Do not speak to fools,for they will scorn your prudent words.Saying 11
10Do not move an ancient boundary stoneor encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
