Proverbs 23:1-8

1When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently him that is before thee;

2And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

3Be not desirous of his dainties; seeing they are deceitful meat.

4Weary not thyself to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom.

5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings, like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.

6Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties:

7For as he reckoneth within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

8The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
