Proverbs 23:5-7

The Voice

⁵ As soon as you become fixed on riches, they vanish.
    For suddenly they sprout wings
    and become like a soaring eagle flying high in the sky.
⁶ Do not sit down and eat the bread of a tight-fisted fellow
    or desire any of his delicacies,
⁷ For deep down he’s keeping track of the cost.
    He may say, “Eat up! Drink your fill!”
    but he does not mean a word of it.
