| Do not weary yourself to gain wealth; Stop dwelling on it. | Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. |
| When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. | 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 own heart also 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, And 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. |
