Proverbs 23:6-9

The Stingy Host and the Fool's Ear

Proverbs 23:6-9
6
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties:
7
For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.
8
The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, And lose thy sweet words.
9
Speak not in the hearing of a fool; For he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
