Eat thou not the bread of [him that hath] an evil eye, etc.] A sordid covetous man, that grudges every bit that is eaten, in opposition to a man of a good eye, or a bountiful one, that is liberal and generous, (<202209>Proverbs 22:9); if he invites to a meal, do not accept of it, sit not down at his table to eat with him: neither desire thou his dainty meats; or savoury food, so as to lust after it; (see Gill on “<202303>Proverbs 23:3”).
