| Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. | Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. |
| In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle. | 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 child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice! | My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. |
| The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise. | The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. |
