Proverbs 23:1-8

1When thou sittest to eatH3898 with a rulerH4910, considerH995 well who is before thee;

2and putH7760 a knife to thy throatH5315, if thou be a man given to appetiteH5315.

3Be not desirous of his dainties; for they are deceitful foodH3899.

4WearyH3021 not thyself to becomeH6238 richH6238; ceaseH2308 from thine own intelligence:

5wilt thou set thine eyesH5869 upon it, it is gone; for indeed it maketh itself wingsH3671 and it flieth away as an eagleH5404 towards the heavensH8064.

6EatH3898 thou not the foodH3899 of him that hath an evilH7451 eyeH5869, neither desireH183 thou his dainties.

7For as he thinketh in his soulH5315, soH3651 is he. EatH398 and drinkH8354! will he sayH559 unto thee; but his heartH3820 is not with thee.

8Thy morselH6595 which thou hast eatenH398 must thou vomitH6958 up, and thou wilt have wasted thy sweet wordsH1697.
