Proverbs 23:3-5
Modern English Version

3 Be not desirous of his delicacies,
    for they are deceptive food.

Saying Eight

4 Do not labor to be rich;
    cease from your own wisdom.
5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
    For riches certainly make themselves wings;
    they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
