Proverbios 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).

Proverbios 23:6 In-Context

4 No te afanes acumulando riquezas;no te obsesiones con ellas.
5 ¿Acaso has podido verlas? ¡No existen!Es como si les salieran alas,pues se van volando como las águilas.
6 No te sientes a la mesa de un tacaño,ni codicies sus manjares,
7 que son como un pelo en la garganta.«Come y bebe», te dirá,pero no te lo dirá de corazón.
8 Acabarás vomitando lo que hayas comido,y tus cumplidos no habrán servido de nada.
