Proverbs 23:3 ASV

¹  When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently him that is before thee;

²  And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite.

³  Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food.

⁴  Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom.

⁵  Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For 'riches' certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
