6 Eat thou not with an envious man, and desire thou not his meats; (Do not thou eat with the envious, and do not thou desire his food;)
7 for at the likeness of a false diviner, and of a conjecturer, that is, (an) expounder of dreams, he guesseth that, that he knoweth not. He shall say to thee, Eat thou and drink; and his soul is not with thee (or but his heart is not for thee or but his heart is not with thee).
8 Thou shalt spew out the meat, which thou hast eaten; and thou shalt lose thy fair words (or and thy flattery shall have been wasted).
9 Speak thou not in the ears of unwise men (or Speak thou not in the ears of the unwise); for they shall despise the teaching of thy speech.
10 Touch thou not the terms, (or the boundary stones, of the property) of little children; and enter thou not into the field of fatherless and motherless children.
11 For the neighbour of them is strong, and he shall deem their cause against thee. (For their Friend is strong, and he shall judge their case against thee.)
12 Thine heart enter to teaching, and thine ears to the words of knowing. (Let thy heart draw close to instruction, and thy ears to words of knowledge.)
