Proverbs 23:1-5
-
1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
-
2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
-
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
-
4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
-
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
