⁶ Do not eat the food of a begrudging host,
    do not crave his delicacies;^(A)
7 for he is the kind of person
    who is always thinking about the cost.^[a]
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
    but his heart is not with you.
⁸ You will vomit up the little you have eaten
    and will have wasted your compliments.

⁹ Do not speak to fools,
    for they will scorn your prudent words.^(B)

¹⁰ Do not move an ancient boundary stone^(C)
    or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
¹¹ for their Defender^(D) is strong;^(E)
    he will take up their case against you.^(F)
