| 6 | Don’t eat with people who are stingy; don’t desire their 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 | They are always thinking about how much it costs. “Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it. | 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 | You will throw up what little you’ve eaten, and your compliments will be wasted. | 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. | |
