3. Be not desirous of his dainties; for they are deceitful food.
4. Weary not thyself to become rich; cease from thine own intelligence:
5. wilt thou set thine eyes upon it, it is gone; for indeed it maketh itself wings and it flieth away as an eagle towards the heavens.
6. Eat thou not the food of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties.
7. For as he thinketh in his soul, so is he. Eat and drink! will he say unto thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8. Thy morsel which thou hast eaten must thou vomit up, and thou wilt have wasted thy sweet words.
9. Speak not in the ears of a foolish man, for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10. Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11. for their redeemer is mighty; he will plead their cause against thee.
12. Apply thy heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
