Proverbs 23:6

Do not eat the food of a stingy person, ¹  do not crave his delicacies;

Do not eat the food of a stingy man, do not crave his delicacies;

Do not eat the bread of a selfish man, Or desire his delicacies;

Don’t eat with people who are stingy; don’t desire their delicacies.

Don't accept a meal from a tightwad; don't expect anything special.

Do not take the food of him who has an evil eye, or have any desire for his delicate meat:

Do not eat the bread of the stingy; do not desire their delicacies;

Do not eat the bread of a miser, Nor desire his delicacies;

Do not eat the food of a stingy person, ¹  do not crave his delicacies;

¹ tn Heb “an evil eye.” This is the opposite of the “good eye” which meant the generous man. The “evil eye” refers to a person who is out to get everything for himself (cf. NASB, NCV, CEV “selfish”). He is ill-mannered and inhospitable (e.g., Prov 28:22). He is up to no good – even though he may appear to be a host.
