Proverbs 23:1-8
1When thou sittest to eatH3898 with a rulerH4910, ConsiderH995 diligently him that is before thee;2And putH7760 a knife to thy throatH5315, If thou be a man given to appetiteH5315.3Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful foodH3899.4WearyH3021 not thyself to be richH6238; CeaseH2308 from thine own wisdom.5Wilt thou set thine eyesH5869 upon that which is not? Forrichescertainly makeH6213 themselves wingsH3671, Like an eagleH5404 that flieth toward heavenH8064.6EatH3898 thou not the breadH3899 of him that hath an evilH7451 eyeH5869, Neither desireH183 thou his dainties:7For as he thinketh within himself, soH3651 is he: EatH398 and drinkH8354, saith he to thee; But his heartH3820 is not with thee.8The morselH6595 which thou hast eatenH398 shalt thou vomitH6958 up, And lose thy sweet wordsH1697.
