Proverbs 23:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 for like a hair in the throat, so are they.[a]
“Eat and drink!” they say to you,
but they do not mean it.(A)
8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten,
and you will waste your pleasant words.
9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
who will only despise the wisdom of your words.(B)
