PROVERBS 23:6-13

⁶Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties:

⁷For as he reckoneth within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

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

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

¹⁰Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

¹¹For their redeemer is strong; he shall plead their cause against thee.

¹²Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

¹³Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beat him with the rod, he shall not die.
