King James Version
"Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat."
— Proverbs 23:3, King James Version
“Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food. ”
“Don't be desirous of his dainties, since they are deceitful food.”
“Do not crave that ruler’s delicacies, for that food is deceptive.”
“Be not desirous of his meats, in which is the bread of deceit.”
“Have no desire for his delicate food, for it is the bread of deceit.”
“Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.”
When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
