4. Be wise enough not to wear yourself out trying to get rich.
5. Your money can be gone in a flash, as if it had grown wings and flown away like an eagle.
6. Don't eat at the table of a stingy person or be greedy for the fine food he serves.
7. “Come on and have some more,” he says, but he doesn't mean it. What he thinks is what he really is.
8. You will vomit up what you have eaten, and all your flattery will be wasted.
29-30. Show me someone who drinks too much, who has to try out some new drink, and I will show you someone miserable and sorry for himself, always causing trouble and always complaining. His eyes are bloodshot, and he has bruises that could have been avoided.
