Proverbs 23:4-8

21st Century King James Version

⁴ Labor not to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom.

⁵ Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly build themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward the heavens.

⁶ Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats;

⁷ for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink,” saith he to thee, but his heart is not with thee.

⁸ The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
