New International Version

Proverbs 23:7-11 New International Version (NIV)

7. for he is the kind of person who is always thinking about the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

8. You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.

9. Do not speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words.

10. Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless,

11. for their Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you.
