Proverbs 23:2-5 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

2. And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

3. Be not desirous of his dainties; seeing they are deceitful meat.

4. Weary not thyself to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom.

5. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings, like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
