In context
1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee:
2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou [art] a man given to appetite.
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they [are] deceitful food.
4 Labor not to be rich: cease from thy own wisdom.
5 Wilt thou set thy eyes upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly make to themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle towards heaven.
