Proverbs 23:7-9

The Voice

⁷ For deep down he’s keeping track of the cost.
    He may say, “Eat up! Drink your fill!”
    but he does not mean a word of it.
⁸ You’ll be sick and lose what little you did eat,
    and you’ll waste your breath carrying on a pleasant conversation.
⁹ Do not waste your wisdom on a fool,
    for he doesn’t care for anything you have to say.
