Proverbs 23:6-8 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁶Do not eat the bread of a stingy man,

and do not crave his delicacies;

⁷for he is keeping track,

inwardly counting the cost.

“Eat and drink,” he says to you,

but his heart is not with you.

⁸You will vomit up what little you have eaten

and waste your pleasant words.

— Proverbs 23:6-8
