Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist. | Do not overwork to be rich; Because of your own understanding, cease! |
When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven. | Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven. |

My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad. | My son, if your heart is wise, My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself. |
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 begets a wise child will delight in him. |
