Proverbs 23:1-8

Sayings 6-8: Deceptive delicacies.
v.1-3 (Saying 6) Deceptive food. Do not desire the delicacies of the rich man for they are deceptive. When dining with a ruler don’t have a big appetite, carefully consider what is put before you (Ps 141:4).
v.4-5 (Saying 7) Don’t try to get rich. Don’t spend your energy trying to get rich, be wise enough to desist, for when you see it it sprouts wings and is gone. There are things in life more important than riches (8:18-21).
v.6-8 (Saying 8.) The stingy man. Don’t eat with a stingy man (28:22). They are always worrying about how much it costs. “Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it. You will vomit up what you have eaten.
