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

Proverbs 23:6-8
American Standard Version
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.
