Proverbs 23:1 - Robertson's Book Notes (NT)

Proverbs 23:1

1 When you sit down to eat with a ruler,
Consider carefully what is before you;

2 And put a knife to your throat
If you are a man given to appetite.

3 Do not desire his delicacies,
For they are deceptive food.

4 ^aDo not overwork to be rich;
^bBecause of your own understanding, cease!

5 ¹Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.
