1 When you sit down to eat with a leader, pay close attention to what has been set before your face,
2 and put a knife to your throat, if, in such a way, you could hold your soul in your own power.
3 Do not desire his foods, in which is the bread of deceit.
4 Do not be willing to labor so that you may be enriched. But set limits by your prudence.
5 Do not raise your eyes toward wealth that you are not able to have. For they will make themselves wings, like those of an eagle, and they will fly in the sky.
