Proverbs 23:7 Context
5Wilt thou set thine eyes vpon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselues wings, they fly away as an Eagle toward heauen. 6Eate thou not the bread of him that hath an euill eye, neither desire thou his dainty meates. 7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eate, and drinke, sayth he to thee, but his heart is not with thee. 8The morsell which thou hast eaten, shalt thou vomite vp, and loose thy sweete words. 9Speake not in the eares of a foole: for hee will despise the wisedome of thy words.
