Bede, on Prov 23:7

Bede · A.D. 673–735
Prov 23:7 · Douay-Rheims
“Because like a soothsayer, and diviner, he thinketh that which he knoweth not. Eat and drink, will he say to thee: and his mind is not with thee.”
On this verse:
“Eat and drink, he will say to you, etc. He says, Learn securely and do what I teach, while he himself does not have certain faith in what he teaches, knowing he has invented from his heart what he would teach.”
