Proverbes 23:6-9

6 Ne mange point le pain de celui qui est envieux, et ne désire point ses friandises.

7 Car il cache sa pensée au fond de son âme. Il te dira bien: Mange et bois; mais son cœur n'est point avec toi.

8 Tu vomiras le morceau que tu auras mangé, et tu auras perdu tes belles paroles.

9 Ne parle point quand un insensé t'écoute; car il méprisera la prudence de tes discours.
