“for as he thinks about the cost, so he is.“Eat and drink!” he says to you,but his heart is not with you.”
Proverbs 23:7 (WEB)
Context Reading
5Why do you set your eyes on that which is not?For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky. 6Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye,and don’t crave his delicacies, 7for as he thinks about the cost, so he is.“Eat and drink!” he says to you,but his heart is not with you. 8You will vomit up the morsel which you have eatenand waste your pleasant words. 9Don’t speak in the ears of a fool,for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
