Proverbs 23:8
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.
You will vomit up what little you have eaten and waste your pleasant words.
9 Do not speak to a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
