Proverbs 23:6

World English Bible (WEB)

Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don’t crave his delicacies,

In context

4 Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.

5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

6 Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don’t crave his delicacies,

7 for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

8 You will vomit up the morsel which you have eaten and waste your pleasant words.
