6 Do not eat the bread of one evil of eye, and do not mark out his delicacies. 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 like one who calculates in his soul, so is he—“Eat and drink,” he says to you, and his heart is not with you. 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 Your morsel that you have eaten, you will vomit it up, and you will ruin your pleasant words! 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.
