Proverbios 23:1-6

1 Cuando te sientes a la mesa de un gobernante,
fíjate bien en lo que te sirven.

2 Si eres de buen comer,
ponle un cuchillo a tu garganta;

3 no desees todos los manjares,
porque tal vez tenga la intención de engañarte.

4 No te desgastes tratando de hacerte rico.
Sé lo suficientemente sabio para saber cuándo detenerte.

5 Las riquezas desaparecen en un abrir y cerrar de ojos,
porque les saldrán alas
y se irán volando como las águilas.

6 No aceptes comer con los tacaños
ni desees sus manjares.
