Proverbs 23:6 in Context — Proverbs 23
4 Não trabalhes exaustivamente para ser rico; modera-te por meio de tua prudência.
5 Porás teus olhos fixos sobre aquilo que é nada? Porque certamente se fará asas, e voará ao céu como uma águia.
6 Não comas o pão de quem tem olho maligno, nem cobices suas comidas gostosas.
7 Porque ele calcula [seus gastos] consigo mesmo. Assim ele dirá: Come e bebe; Mas o coração dele não está contigo;
8 Vomitarias o pedaço que comeste, e perderias tuas palavras agradáveis.
