In context
1 Unapoketi kula pamoja na mtawala, angalia kwa uangalifu kilichopo mbele yako,
2 na kama ni mtu unayependa kula chakula sana weka kisu kooni.
3 Usitamani vinono vyake maana ni chakula cha uongo.
4 Usifanye kazi sana ili kupata mali; uwe na busara ya kutosha ili ujue wakati wa kuacha.
5 Je utaruhusu macho yako yaangaze juu yake? Itaondoka, maana itawaa mabawa kama tai na kuruka angani.
6 Usile chakula cha yule mwenye jicho baya- na usiwe na shauku ya vinono vyake,
7 maana ni mtu mwenye kuhesabu gharama ya chakula. “Kula na kunywa!” anakuambia, lakini moyo wake haupo pamoja nawe.
