Proverbios 23:1-6

1 CUANDO te sentares á comer con algún señor, Considera bien lo que estuviere delante de ti;

2 Y pon cuchillo á tu garganta, Si tienes gran apetito.

3 No codicies sus manjares delicados, Porque es pan engañoso

4 No trabajes por ser rico; Pon coto á tu prudencia

5 ¿Has de poner tus ojos en las riquezas, siendo ningunas? Porque hacerse han alas, Como alas de águila, y volarán al cielo.

6 No comas pan de hombre de mal ojo, Ni codicies sus manjares:
