Proverbs 23:6-8
English Standard Version

6 (A)Do not eat the bread of a man who is (B)stingy;[a]
    (C)do not desire his delicacies,
7 for he is like one who is inwardly calculating.[b]
    “Eat and drink!” he says to you,
    but his (D)heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten,
    and waste your pleasant words.
