Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.

Context

1When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you;
2put a knife to your throat, if you are a man given to appetite.
3Don’t be desirous of his dainties, since they are deceitful food.
4Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.
5Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
6Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don’t crave his delicacies:
7for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
