Proverbs 23:1-8

1When thou sittest to eatH3898 with a rulerH4910, considerH995 diligentlyH995 him that is beforeH6440 thee;

2And putH7760 a knifeH7915 to thy throatH5315, ifH518 thou be a manH5315 given to appetiteH5315.

3Be notH408 desirous of his dainties; seeing they are deceitful meat.

4WearyH3021 notH408 thyself to be richH6238; ceaseH2308 from thine own wisdom.

5Wilt thou setH6213 thine eyesH5869 upon that whichH5869 is notH369? for riches certainlyH3588 makeH6213 themselves wingsH3671, like an eagleH5404 that flieth toward heavenH8064.

6EatH3898 thou notH408 the breadH3899 of him that hath an evilH7451 eyeH5869, neitherH408 desireH183 thou his dainties:

7For as he reckoneth withinH5973 himselfH1931, soH3651 is he: EatH398 and drinkH8354, saith he to thee; but his heartH3820 is notH3588 with thee.

8The morselH6595 whichH1697 thou hast eatenH398 shalt thou vomitH6958 upH398, and lose thy sweet wordsH1697.
