World English Bible
"for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his heart is not with you."
— Proverbs 23:7, World English Bible
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.”
“For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee. ”
“for he is like someone who has calculated the cost in his mind.“Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you;”
“Because, like a soothsayer, and diviner, he thinketh that which he knoweth not. Eat and drink, will he say to thee: and his mind is not with thee.”
“For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he: Take food and drink, he says to you; but his heart is not with you.”
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.”
Don't weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.
Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
Don't eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don't crave his delicacies:
for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, and lose your good words.
Don't speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
Don't move the ancient boundary stone. Don't encroach on the fields of the fatherless:
