Proverbs 23:7-9
New American Standard Bible 1995

7 For as he [a]thinks within himself, so he is.
He says to you, “Eat and drink!”
But (A)his heart is not with you.
8 You will (B)vomit up [b]the morsel you have eaten,
And waste your [c]compliments.

9 (C)Do not speak in the [d]hearing of a fool,
For he will (D)despise the wisdom of your words.
