5 In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,for it will sprout wingsand fly away like an eagle.
6 Don’t eat with people who are stingy;don’t desire their delicacies.
7 They are always thinking about how much it costs.“Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it.
8 You will throw up what little you’ve eaten,and your compliments will be wasted.
9 Don’t waste your breath on fools,for they will despise the wisest advice.
10 Don’t cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers;don’t take the land of defenseless orphans.
11 For their Redeemer is strong;he himself will bring their charges against you.
