1 When you sit down to eat with a ruler, observe carefully whata is before you,
2 and put a knife to your throat if you are given to appetite.
3 1Do not desire his delicacies, for they are deceptive food.
4 2Do not toil to acquire wealth; 3be discerning enough to desist.
5 When your eyes light on it, it is gone, 4for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven.
6 5Do not eat the bread of a man who is 6stingy;b 7do not desire his delicacies,
