for he is the sort who keeps count within himself. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
In context
5Let your eyes fly to it and it is gone: wealth sprouts wings for itself and flies off to the sky like an eagle. 6Do not eat the bread of a grudging man, and do not crave his delicacies, 7for he is the sort who keeps count within himself. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you. 8You will vomit up the morsel you have eaten and waste your pleasant words. 9Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the good sense of your words.
