Proverbs 23:1-3
Authorized (King James) Version
23 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler,
consider diligently what is before thee:
2 and put a knife to thy throat,
if thou be a man given to appetite.
3 Be not desirous of his dainties:
for they are deceitful meat.
Proverbs 23:6-9
Authorized (King James) Version
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
Eat and drink, saith he to thee;
but his heart is not with thee.
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up,
and lose thy sweet words.
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool:
for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
Proverbs 26:6
Authorized (King James) Version
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool
cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
Proverbs 26:10
Authorized (King James) Version
10 The great God that formed all things
both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
Proverbs 26:24-28
Authorized (King James) Version
24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips,
and layeth up deceit within him;
25 when he speaketh fair, believe him not:
for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit,
his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein:
and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it;
and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
Proverbs 27:6
Authorized (King James) Version
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Proverbs 29:5
Authorized (King James) Version
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour
spreadeth a net for his feet.
