Commentary on Proverbs 23:3

Theological / Devotional

Deceitful meat. There may be nothing wrong with the food, but often the purpose of such hospitality is to promote some selfish scheme and achieve some sinister end — perhaps to make the guest forget caution and talk freely. However attractive the dainties, either stay away or keep your mind on business and not pleasure (see v. 6; ch. 24:1).
