Proverbs 23:4-6
American Standard Version
4 Weary not thyself to be rich;
Cease [a]from thine own wisdom.
5 [b]Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings,
Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
Neither desire thou his dainties:
