5 For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens.
6 Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties,
7 For as he hath thought in his soul, so 'is' he, 'Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And his heart 'is' not with thee.
8 Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that 'are' sweet.
9 In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the wisdom of thy words.
