In context

4Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to restrain yourself.

5When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.

6Do not eat the bread of a stingy man, and do not crave his delicacies;

7For he is keeping track, inwardly counting the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

8You will vomit up what little you have eaten and waste your pleasant words.
