King James Version
"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom."
— Proverbs 23:4, King James Version
“Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom. ”
“Don't weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.”
“Do not wear yourself out to become rich; be wise enough to restrain yourself.”
“Labour not to be rich: but set bounds to thy prudence.”
“Take no care to get wealth; let there be an end to your desire for money.”
“Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.”
When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
