Proverbs 23:6
| ← Proverbs 23:5 | Proverbs 23:6 (KJV) | Proverbs 23:7 → |
|---|---|---|
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
|
Eat thou not the bread of [him that hath] an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
|
For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.
