Proverbs 23:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ for like a hair in the throat, so are they.^[a]
    “Eat and drink!” they say to you;
    but they do not mean it.
⁸ You will vomit up the little you have eaten,
    and you will waste your pleasant words.
⁹ Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
    who will only despise the wisdom of your words.
