Proverbs 23:5


Proverbs 23:4 Proverbs 23:5 (KJV) Proverbs 23:6
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
Eat thou not the bread of [him that hath] an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
