1 CUANDO te sentares á comer con algún señor, considera bien lo que estuviere delante de ti;
2 Y pon cuchillo á tu garganta, si tienes gran apetito.
3 No codicies sus manjares delicados, porque es pan engañoso.
4 No trabajes por ser rico; pon coto á tu prudencia.
5 ¿Has de poner tus ojos en las riquezas, siendo ningunas? porque hacerse han alas, como alas de águila, y volarán al cielo.
