“For as he has thought in his soul, so he [is]. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, || And his heart [is] not with you.”— Proverbs 23:7 (LSV)
4Do not labor to make wealth, || Cease from your own understanding, || Do you cause your eyes to fly on it? Then it is not.
5For wealth makes wings to itself, || It flies to the heavens as an eagle.
6Do not eat the bread of an evil eye, || And have no desire to his delicacies,
7For as he has thought in his soul, so he [is]. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, || And his heart [is] not with you.
8You vomit up your morsel you have eaten, || And have marred your words that [are] sweet.
9Do not speak in the ears of a fool, || For he treads on the wisdom of your words.
10Do not remove a border of ancient times, || And do not enter into fields of the fatherless,
