Proverbs 23:7 in other translations
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
for he is keeping track, inwardly counting the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

6 Eate thou not the bread of him that hath an euil eye, neither desire his deintie meates.
7 For as though he thought it in his heart, so will hee say vnto thee, Eate and drinke: but his heart is not with thee.

10 Remooue not the ancient boundes, and enter not into the fieldes of the fatherlesse.
