Proverbs 23:7
Berean Standard Bible
for he is keeping track, inwardly counting the cost.* “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
Context
5When you glance at wealth, it disappears,
for it makes wings for itself
and flies like an eagle to the sky. 6Do not eat the bread of a stingy man,*
and do not crave his delicacies; 7for he is keeping track,
inwardly counting the cost.*
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
but his heart is not with you. 8You will vomit up what little you have eaten
and waste your pleasant words. 9Do not speak to a fool,
for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
