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;
כִּי כְּמוֹ־שָׁעַר בְּנַפְשׁוֹ כֶּן־הוּא אֱכֹל וּשְׁתֵה יֹאמַר לָךְ וְלִבּוֹ בַּל־עִמָּֽךְ
For as one that hath reckoned within himself, so is he: ‘Eat and drink’, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.
פִּֽתְּךָ־אָכַלְתָּ תְקִיאֶנָּה וְשִׁחַתָּ דְּבָרֶיךָ הַנְּעִימִֽים
The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, And lose thy sweet words.
בְּאָזְנֵי כְסִיל אַל־תְּדַבֵּר כִּֽי־יָבוּז לְשֵׂכֶל מִלֶּֽיךָ
Speak not in the ears of a fool; for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
