In context
5If thou shouldest fix thine eye upon him, he will disappear; For wings like an eagle’s are prepared for him, And he returns to the house of his master.
6Sup not with an envious man, Neither desire thou his meats:
— Proverbs 23:7 —
8For he will vomit it up, and spoil thy fair words.
9Say nothing in the ears of a fool, Lest at any time he sneer at thy wise words.
