Proverbs 23:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ Don’t wear yourself out to get rich.
    Don’t trust how wise you think you are.
⁵ When you take even a quick look at riches, they are gone.
    They grow wings and fly away into the sky like an eagle.

⁶ Don’t eat the food of anyone who doesn’t want to share it.
    Don’t long for his fancy food.
