Proverbs 23:5-7
New Living Translation
5 In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,
for it will sprout wings
and fly away like an eagle.
6 Don’t eat with people who are stingy;
don’t desire their delicacies.
7 They are always thinking about how much it costs.[a]
“Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it.
Footnotes
- 23:7 The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.
