Proverbs 23:6-12 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

6. Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainties:

7. For as he reckoneth within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

8. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

9. Speak not in the hearing of a fool; for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

10. Remove not the ancient landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

11. For their redeemer is strong; he shall plead their cause against thee.

12. Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
