6 Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his dainties, 7 For as he hath thought in his soul, so 'is' he, 'Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And his heart 'is' not with thee. 8 Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that 'are' sweet.
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.
