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.

5 ¿Acaso has podido verlas? ¡No existen!Es como si les salieran alas,pues se van volando como las águilas.

8 Acabarás vomitando lo que hayas comido,y tus cumplidos no habrán servido de nada.
9 A oídos del necio jamás dirijas palabra,pues se burlará de tus sabios consejos.
