Proverbs 23:5
3 Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive.
4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to restrain yourself.
When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.
6 Do not eat the bread of a stingy man, and do not crave his delicacies;
7 for he is keeping track, inwardly counting the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
