Proverbs 23:1-3

23 When you sit down to dine with a ruler,
consider carefully what[a] is before you,

if you have a big[b] appetite;
3 don’t desire his choice food,(A)

Proverbs 23:6-9

6 Don’t eat a stingy person’s bread,[a](A)
and don’t desire his choice food,(B)

10 The one who hires a fool or who hires those passing by

Proverbs 26:24-28
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 A hateful person disguises himself with his speech
and harbors deceit within.
25 When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him,
for there are seven abominations in his heart.(A)
26 Though his hatred is concealed by deception,
his evil will be revealed in the assembly.
27 The one who digs a pit will fall into it,
and whoever rolls a stone—
it will come back on him.(B)
28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes,
and a flattering mouth causes ruin.
