Proverbs 23:3-5
International Children’s Bible

3 Don’t be greedy for his fine foods.
    He might use that rich food to trick you.

4 Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich.
    Be wise enough to control yourself.
5 Wealth can vanish in the wink of an eye.
    It seems to grow wings
    and fly away like an eagle in the sky.
