| 6 | Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his 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 | For as he hath thought in his soul, so is he, 'Eat and drink,' saith he to thee, And 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 | Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast marred thy words that are sweet. | 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. | |
