Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

Don't eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don't crave his delicacies:

for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, and lose your good words.

Don't speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
