Proverbi 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).

Proverbi 23:6 In-Context

4 Non t’affannare per diventar ricco, smetti dall’applicarvi la tua intelligenza
5 Vuoi tu fissar lo sguardo su ciò che scompare? Giacché la ricchezza si fa dell’ali, come l’aquila che vola verso il cielo.
6 Non mangiare il pane di chi ha l’occhio maligno e non bramare i suoi cibi delicati;
7 poiché, nell’intimo suo, egli è calcolatore: "Mangia e bevi!" ti dirà; ma il cuor suo non è con te.
8 Vomiterai il boccone che avrai mangiato, e avrai perduto le tue belle parole.
