6 Do not eat the bread of the stingy; do not desire their delicacies; 7 for like a hair in the throat, so are they. "Eat and drink!" they say to you; but they do not mean it. 8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten, and you will waste your pleasant words.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 23:6-8

Commentary on Proverbs 23:6-8

(Read Proverbs 23:6-8)

Do not make thyself burdensome to any, especially those not sincere. When we are called by God to his feast, and to let our souls delight themselves, Isaiah 25:6; 55:2, we may safely partake of the Bread of life.
