New King James Version
Proverbs 23:6-8
New King James Version
6 Do not eat the bread of (A)a[a] miser,
Nor desire his delicacies;
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” (B)he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up,
And waste your pleasant words.

6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
Neither desire thou his dainties:
7 For [a]as he thinketh within himself, so is he:
Eat and drink, saith he to thee;
But his heart is not with thee.
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up,
And lose thy sweet words.
