Do not wear yourself out in the pursuit of wealth, and cease even to think about it. | Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint. |
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. | Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky. |

My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad. | My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad, even mine. |
The father of a good man will rejoice; he who begets a wise son will delight in him. | The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him. |
