But

A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth
And does not know that want will come upon him.

But the one who gathers by labor increases it.

An inheritance gained hurriedly at the beginning
Will not be blessed in the end.

Do not weary yourself to gain wealth,

Cease from your consideration of it.
