Proverbs 23:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Be not desirous of his dainty meats: [a]for it is a deceivable meat.
4 Travail not too much to be rich: but cease from thy [b]wisdom.
5 Wilt thou cast thine eyes upon it, which is nothing? for riches taketh her to her wings, as an Eagle, and flieth into the heaven.
