John Gill, on Prov 23:6

John Gill · 1697–1771
Prov 23:6 · Douay-Rheims
“Eat not with an envious man, and desire not his meats:”
On this verse:
“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.”
