This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_23:3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they [are] deceitful meat.
Ver. 3. Be not desirous of his dainties.] It is a shame for a saint to be a slave to his palate. Isaac loved venison too, too well; the disciples are cautioned by Christ, {Luk_21:34} who well enough knew where they were weakest.
For they are deceitful meat.] There is a hook under that bait; it may prove as dangerous as Jonathan’s honey, of which he had no sooner tasted but his head was forfeited. There is a deceitfulness in sin, {Heb_3:13} a lie in vanity, {Jon_2:8} transit voluptas, manet dolor - dolor est etiam ipsa voluptas.
