1 When you sit down to dine with a ruler, consider carefully what is set before you (who is before you), 2 and put a knife to your throat if you possess a great appetite. 3 Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive. 4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to restrain yourself. 5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.
