וְשַׂמְתָּ שַׂכִּין בְּלֹעֶךָ אִם־בַּעַל נֶפֶשׁ אָֽתָּה
And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
אַל־תִּתְאָו לְמַטְעַמּוֹתָיו וְהוּא לֶחֶם כְּזָבִֽים
Be not desirous of his dainties; seeing they are deceitful food.
אַל־תִּיגַע לְֽהַעֲשִׁיר מִֽבִּינָתְךָ חֲדָֽל
Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom. .
התעוף עֵינֶיךָ בּוֹ וְֽאֵינֶנּוּ כִּי עָשֹׂה יַעֲשֶׂה־לּוֹ כְנָפַיִם כְּנֶשֶׁר ועיף הַשָּׁמָֽיִם
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon it? it is gone; For riches certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
אַל־תִּלְחַם אֶת־לֶחֶם רַע עָיִן וְאַל־תתאו לְמַטְעַמֹּתָֽיו
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties;
