1When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what before thee:

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

3Be not desirous of his dainties: for they deceitful meat.

4Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
