1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently what is before you;
2 Put a knife to your throat, If you are a man given to appetite.
3 Don`t be desirous of his dainties, Seeing they are deceitful food.
4 Don`t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.
5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
6 Don`t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, And don`t crave his delicacies:
7 For as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you.
