Proverbs 23:2-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

2. Stick the knife in your gulletif you have a ravenous appetite.

3. Do not desire his delicacies;it is food that deceives.

4. Do not wear yourself out to gain wealth,cease to be worried about it;

5. When your glance flits to it, it is gone!For assuredly it grows wings,like the eagle that flies toward heaven.
