Do not wear yourself out in the pursuit of wealth, and cease even to think about it. | Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to desist. |
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 your eyes light upon it, it is gone; for suddenly it takes wings to itself, flying like an eagle toward heaven. |

My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad. | My child, if your heart is wise, my heart too 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; he who begets a wise son will be glad in him. |
