King James Version with Apocrypha
"Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:"
— Proverbs 23:6, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:”
“Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties: ”
“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:”
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:
For as he thinketh in his heart, 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 ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
