Proverbs 23:5-9
Proverbs 23:5
When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.
Proverbs 23:6
Do not eat the bread of a selfish person; Or desire his delicacies;
Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinks within himself, so he is. He says to you, “Eat and drink!” But his heart is not with you.
Proverbs 23:8
You will vomit up the morsel you have eaten And waste your compliments.
Proverbs 23:9
Do not speak to be heard by a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
