Proverbs 23:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)Do not eat the bread of a man who is (B)stingy;[a]
(C)do not desire his delicacies,
7 for he is like one who is inwardly calculating.[b]
“Eat and drink!” he says to you,
but his (D)heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten,
and waste your pleasant words.

International Standard Version
6 Don’t consume food provided by a miserly[a] person,
and don’t desire his delicacies,
7 for as he thinks within himself, so he is.
“Eat and drink!” he’ll say to you,
but his heart won’t be with you.
8 You’ll vomit up what little you’ve eaten,
and your compliments will have been wasted.
