Do not wear yourself out in the pursuit of wealth, and cease even to think about it. | Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. |
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. | In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle. |

My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad. | My child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice! |
The father of a good man will rejoice; he who begets a wise son will delight in him. | The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise. |
