Proverbs 23:1-3
Legacy Standard Bible

The Fear of Yahweh

23 When you sit down to dine with a ruler,
Understand well [a]what is before you,
2 So you should put a knife to your throat
If you are a (A)man of appetite.
3 Do not (B)desire his delicacies,
For it is bread of falsehood.

For it is deceptive food.
