"Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,.... A sordid covetous man, that grudges every bit that is eaten, in opposition to a man of a
good eye, or a bountiful one, that is liberal and generous, Pro 22:9 ; if he invites to a meal, do not accept of it, sit not down at his table to eat with him: neither desire thou his dainty meats; or savoury food, so as to lust after it; See Gill on Pro 23:3 .
