Proverbs 23:4-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ Do not wear yourself out getting rich.
Have the good judgment to know when to stop.
⁵ Will your eyes get a glimpse of wealth before it is gone?
No, it will sprout wings for itself.
Like an eagle it will fly away into the sky.

⁶ Do not eat the food of a miser.
Do not crave his delicious food,
⁷ because he is calculating how much things cost him.
So when he says to you, “Eat and drink,”
he does not mean it.
⁸ You will vomit up the little bit you ate
and spoil your pleasant conversation.
