Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. | Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to desist. |
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 your eyes light upon it, it is gone; for suddenly it takes wings to itself, flying like an eagle toward heaven. |
|
My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. | My child, if your heart is wise, my heart too 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; he who begets a wise son will be glad in him. |
