1 WHEN you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is set before you, 2 That you may not put poison in your mouth. And if you are a man given to excessive appetite, 3 Be not desirous of his food; for his bread is bread of deceit. 4 Do not quarrel with a rich man; but keep away from him wisely. 5 For if you should fix your eye on him, you cannot see him; for he makes for himself wings like an eagle and flies away toward the sky.
