6 Eate thou not the bread of hym that hath an euyll eye: neither desire thou his daintie meate. Do not eat the bread of a man who is stingy; do not desire his delicacies, Do not eat the food of a begrudging host, do not crave his delicacies;
7 For as though he thought it in his heart, he saith, eate and drinke: where as his heart is not with thee. for he is like one who is inwardly calculating. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you. for he is the kind of person who is always thinking about the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8 The morsels that thou hast eaten shalt thou parbreake, and loose those sweete wordes. You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten, and waste your pleasant words. You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.
