Contextual Overview

⁶ Don't eat the food of selfish people; don't be greedy for their fine foods. ⁷ Selfish people are always worrying about how much the food costs. They tell you, "Eat and drink," but they don't really mean it. ⁸ You will throw up the little you have eaten, and you will have wasted your kind words.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The morsel [which] thou hast eaten, shalt thou vomit up,.... It shall turn in thy stomach, thou shall not be able to keep it, when thou understandest thou art not welcome; or thou wilt wish thou hadst never eaten a bit, or that thou couldest vomit up what thou hast; so disagreeable is the thought of being unwelcome, or when this appears to be the case;

and lose thy sweet words; expressed in thankfulness to the master of the feast, in praise of his food, in pleasantry with him, and the other guests at table; all which are repented of when a man finds he is not welcome.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 23:8. The morsel which thou hast eaten — On reflection thou wilt even blame thyself for having accepted his invitation.
