Consideration » What to consider
When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, thou shall consider well, what is before thee; And shalt put a knife to thy throat, if, of great appetite, thou art: Do not crave his dainties, for, the same, are deceitful food. read more.
Do not toil to get wealth, of thine own understanding, forbear: Wilt thou let thine eye fly thereupon, when it is nothing? for it will, surely make, itself wings, Like an eagle, will it wing its way across the heavens. Do not eat the food of him that hath a begrudging eye, neither crave thou his dainties; For, just as he hath thought in his own mind, so, he is: Eat and drink! he may say to thee, but, his heart, is not with thee. As for thy morsel thou hast eaten, thou shalt vomit it, so shalt thou waste thy things so sweet.

They devise perverse things, They have completed the device well devised, Both the intent of each one, and the mind, are unsearchable.
Yahweh, knoweth the plans of men, That, they, are a breath!
An abomination to Yahweh, are the plottings tings of the wicked, but, with the pure, are sayings of sweetness.
For, just as he hath thought in his own mind, so, he is: Eat and drink! he may say to thee, but, his heart, is not with thee.
Because, I, -- for their works and their devices, doth it come! -- Am about to gather together all nations and tongues, - So shall they come and see my glory.
And Jesus, knowing, their inward thoughts, said, - To what end are ye cherishing evil thoughts within your hearts?

Withhold thy foot from the house of thy neighbour, - lest he be weary of thee, and hate thee.
And, into whatsoever house ye enter, First, say, Peace to this house! And, if the son of peace be, there, your peace, shall rest upon it; but, otherwise, at least, unto you, shall it return.
