Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to desist. | Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. |
When your eyes light upon it, it is gone; for suddenly it takes wings to itself, flying like an eagle toward heaven. | In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle. |

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