Proverbs 23:4-8
New King James Version
4 (A)Do not overwork to be rich;
(B)Because of your own understanding, cease!
5 [a]Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.
6 Do not eat the bread of (C)a[b] miser,
Nor desire his delicacies;
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” (D)he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up,
And waste your pleasant words.

Proverbs 23:4-8
Christian Standard Bible
4 Don’t wear yourself out to get rich;(A)
because you know better, stop!
5 As soon as your eyes fly to it, it disappears,(B)
for it makes wings for itself
and flies like an eagle to the sky.
6 Don’t eat a stingy person’s bread,[a](C)
and don’t desire his choice food,(D)
7 for it’s like someone calculating inwardly.[b](E)
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
but his heart is not with you.(F)
8 You will vomit the little you’ve eaten
and waste your pleasant words.
