- When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
- And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
- Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
- Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
- Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
|
- When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you,
- and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.
- Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive.
- Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint.
- Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
|
- Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
- For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
- The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
|
- Do not eat the food of a stingy man, do not crave his delicacies;
- for he is the kind of man who is always thinking about the cost. "Eat and drink," he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
- You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.
