Proverbs 23:2-4

Young's Literal Translation

²And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a man of appetite.

³Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it [is] lying food.

⁴Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.

Proverbs 23:2-4

New International Version

²and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to gluttony.
³Do not crave his delicacies,^(A)
for that food is deceptive.

⁴Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness.
