Proverbs 23:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 23:7

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.

6 Do not eat the bread of ^a¹a miser,
Nor desire his delicacies;

7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” ^ahe 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.

9 ^aDo not speak in the hearing of a fool,
For he will despise the wisdom of your words.
