Proverbios 23:7 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 23:7

For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he
He is not the man his mouth speaks or declares him to be, but what his heart thinks; which is discovered by his looks and actions, and by which he is to be judged of, and not by his words; eat and drink, saith he to thee, but his heart [is] not with thee;
he bids you eat and drink, but he does not desire you should, at least but very sparingly; it is only a mere compliment, not a hearty welcome.

Proverbios 23:7 In-Context

5 ¿Has de poner tus ojos en las riquezas, siendo ningunas? Porque hacerse han alas, Como alas de águila, y volarán al cielo.
6 No comas pan de hombre de mal ojo, Ni codicies sus manjares:
7 Porque cual es su pensamiento en su alma, tal es él. Come y bebe, te dirá; Mas su corazón no está contigo.
8 Vomitarás la parte que tú comiste, Y perderás tus suaves palabras.
9 No hables á oídos del necio; Porque menospreciará la prudencia de tus razones.
