Proverbs 23:6 in Context — Proverbs 23
4 No trabajes por ser rico; pon coto á tu prudencia.
5 ¿Has de poner tus ojos en las riquezas, siendo ningunas? porque hacerse han alas, como alas de águila, y volarán al cielo.
6 No comas pan de [hombre de] mal ojo, ni codicies sus manjares:
7 Porque cual es su pensamiento en su alma, tal es él. Come y bebe, te dirá; mas su corazón no está contigo.
8 Vomitarás la parte que tú comiste, y perderás tus suaves palabras.
