Proverbs 23:9
Showing verse 9 with surrounding context.
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.
10
Remove not the ancient landmark; And enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11
For their Redeemer is strong; He will plead their cause against thee.
12
Apply thy heart unto instruction, And thine ears to the words of knowledge.
