Proverbs 23:8
World English Bible
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
6 Don`t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, And don`t crave his delicacies:
7 For as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, And lose your good words.
9 Don`t speak in the ears of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Don`t move the ancient boundary stone. Don`t encroach on the fields of the fatherless:
11 For their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
