American Standard Version
"Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties: "
— Proverbs 23:6, American Standard Version
“Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:”
“Don't eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don't crave his delicacies:”
“Do not eat the food of a stingy person, do not crave his delicacies;”
“Eat not with an envious man, and desire not his meats:”
“Do not take the food of him who has an evil eye, or have any desire for his delicate meat:”
“Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:”
Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food.
Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom.
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? Forrichescertainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties:
For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.
The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, And lose thy sweet words.
Speak not in the hearing of a fool; For he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
