Do not overwork to be rich; Because of your own understanding, cease! | Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. |
Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven. | Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. |

My son, if your heart is wise, My heart will rejoice—indeed, I myself. | My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. |
The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And he who begets a wise child will delight in him. | The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. |
