Proverbs 23:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 Do not eat the bread of the stingy,[a]
and do not desire his delicacies.
7 For, like hair in his throat,[b] so it is.[c]
“Eat and drink!” he will say to you,
but his heart will not be with you.
8 Your morsel you have eaten, you will vomit it up,
and you will waste your pleasant words.
