Proverbs 23:6
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Do not eat the bread of a stingy man, and do not crave his delicacies;
In context
4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to restrain yourself.
5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.
6 Do not eat the bread of a stingy man, and do not crave his delicacies;
7 for he is keeping track, inwardly counting the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up what little you have eaten and waste your pleasant words.
