Proverbs 23:5
Compare all
3 Do not desire his delicacies,
For they are deceptive food.
4 aDo not overwork to be rich;
bBecause of your own understanding, cease! 
5 1Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven. 
6 Do not eat the bread of a1a miser,
Nor desire his delicacies; 
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” ahe says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
