When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently him that is before thee;
And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite.
Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food.

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? Forrichescertainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties:
For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.
