| Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. | Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. |
| Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as 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 thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. | My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad indeed. |
| The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. | The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him. |
