| Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist. | Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. |
| When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven. | Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle. |

| My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad. | My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad indeed. |
| The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. | The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him. |
