Proverbs 23:3

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.
