Proverbs 23:5-7
American Standard Version
5 [a]Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings,
Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
Neither desire thou his dainties:
7 For [b]as he thinketh within himself, so is he:
Eat and drink, saith he to thee;
But his heart is not with thee.
