Do not wear yourself out in the pursuit of wealth, and cease even to think about it. | Do not weary yourself to gain wealth; Stop dwelling on it. |
When you fix your gaze upon it, it is gone before you realize it. For it suddenly sprouts wings and flies up to the sky like an eagle. | 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 your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad. | My son, if your heart is wise, My own heart also will be glad. |
The father of a good man will rejoice; he who begets a wise son will delight in him. | The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him. |
