Proverbs 23:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an [a]evil eye, neither desire his dainty meats.
7 For as though he thought it in his heart: so will he say unto thee, Eat and drink: but his heart is not with thee.
8 Thou shalt vomit thy [b]morsel that thou hast eaten, and thou shalt lose thy sweet words.
