Proverbs 23:6-8
New King James Version

6 Do not eat the bread of (A)a[a] miser,
Nor desire his delicacies;
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” (B)he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up,
And waste your pleasant words.

    but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up the little you have eaten
    and will have wasted your compliments.
