Proverbs 23:6-12

1. 6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

2. 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

3. 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

4. 9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

5. 10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

6. 11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

7. 12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
