6 Thou shalt not eat the bread of an evil eye, and ye shall not long for its dainties: 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 Like him estimating evil in his soul, so is he: Eat and drink, he will say to thee; and his heart 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 Thy morsel which thou didst eat thou shalt vomit forth and destroy thy 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.
