Proverbes 23:6 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 23:6

Eat thou not the bread of [him that hath] an evil eye
A sordid covetous man, that grudges every bit that is eaten, in opposition to a man of a good eye, or a bountiful one, that is liberal and generous, ( Proverbs 22:9 ) ; if he invites to a meal, do not accept of it, sit not down at his table to eat with him: neither desire thou his dainty meats;
or savoury food, so as to lust after it; (See Gill on Proverbs 23:3).

Proverbes 23:6 In-Context

4 Ne te tourmente pas pour t'enrichir, N'y applique pas ton intelligence.
5 Veux-tu poursuivre du regard ce qui va disparaître? Car la richesse se fait des ailes, Et comme l'aigle, elle prend son vol vers les cieux.
6 Ne mange pas le pain de celui dont le regard est malveillant, Et ne convoite pas ses friandises;
7 Car il est comme les pensées de son âme. Mange et bois, te dira-t-il; Mais son coeur n'est point avec toi.
8 Tu vomiras le morceau que tu as mangé, Et tu auras perdu tes propos agréables.
