Expanded Bible

3 Don’t ·be greedy [long] for his fine foods,
    because that food might be ·a trick [false; deceptive].

4 Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich;
    be wise enough to ·control [stop] yourself.
5 ·Wealth can vanish in the wink of an eye [L Your eye can fly to it and it will be gone].
    It can seem to grow wings
and fly away like an eagle.
