6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
6 Do not eat the bread of a man who is stingy;
6 Don't accept a meal from a tightwad; don't expect anything special. 7 He'll be as stingy with you as he is with himself; he'll say, "Eat! Drink!" but won't mean a word of it.
6 Do not eat the bread of a miser, Nor desire his delicacies; 7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you.
6 Don't eat with people who are stingy; don't desire their delicacies. 7 They are always thinking about how much it costs. "Eat and drink," they say, but they don't mean it.

Commentary on Proverbs 23:6-8
(Read Proverbs 23:6-8)
Do not make thyself burdensome to any, especially those not sincere. When we are called by God to his feast, and to let our souls delight themselves, Isaiah 25:6; 55:2, we may safely partake of the Bread of life.
