Proverbs 23:3-7 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. Don’t long for the ruler’s delicacies;the food misleads.

4. Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich;be smart enough to stop.

5. When your eyes fly to wealthit is gone; it grows wingslike an eagle and flies heavenward.

6. Don’t eat food with stingy people;don’t long for their delicacies,

7. because they are like a hair in the throat.They say to you, "Eat and drink!"but they don’t mean it.
