Proverbs 23:4-8

World English Bible

⁴ Don’t weary yourself to be rich.
    In your wisdom, show restraint.
⁵ Why do you set your eyes on that which is not?
    For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
⁶ Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye,
    and don’t crave his delicacies,
⁷     for as he thinks about the cost, so he is.
    “Eat and drink!” he says to you,
    but his heart is not with you.
⁸ You will vomit up the morsel which you have eaten
    and waste your pleasant words.
