Proverbs 23:4-6
GOD’S WORD Translation
4 Do not wear yourself out getting rich.
Be smart enough to stop.
5 Will you catch only a fleeting glimpse of wealth before it is gone?
It makes wings for itself like an eagle flying into the sky.
6 Do not eat the food of one who is stingy,
and do not crave his delicacies.

for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.(B)

do not crave his delicacies;(C)
