| Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. | Do not weary yourself to gain wealth; Stop dwelling on it. |
| Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as 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 thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. | My son, if your heart is wise, My own heart also will be glad. |
| The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. | The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. |
