Proverbs 23:7LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 7 of 35

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart not with thee."
Proverbs 23:7

In context

5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

6Eat thou not the bread of an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

7For as he thinketh in his heart, so he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart not with thee.

8The morsel thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

9Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
