2 E põe uma faca à tua garganta, se tiveres muito apetite.
3 Não desejes as comidas gostosas dele, porque são pão de mentiras.
4 Não trabalhes exaustivamente para ser rico; modera-te por meio de tua prudência.
5 Porás teus olhos fixos sobre aquilo que é nada? Porque certamente se fará asas, e voará ao céu como uma águia.
6 Não comas o pão de quem tem olho maligno, nem cobices suas comidas gostosas.
