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;a 7do not desire his delicacies,
7 for he is like one who is inwardly calculating.b "Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his 8heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten, and waste your pleasant words.
9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the good sense of your words.
10 9Do not move an ancient landmark or enter the fields of the fatherless,
11 for their 10Redeemer is strong; he will 11plead their cause against you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge.
