Saying Nine

Do not eat the bread of him who has an evil eye,
    neither desire his delicacies;
for as he thinks in his heart,
    so is he.
“Eat and drink!” he says to you,
    but his heart is not with you.
The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up,
    and lose your sweet words.

Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats;

for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink,” saith he to thee, but his heart is not with thee.

The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
