Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist. | Do not weary yourself to gain wealth; Stop dwelling on it. |
When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven. | When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. |

My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad. | My son, if your heart is wise, My own heart also will be glad. |
The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. | The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. |
