Bread Of Deceit

Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

• Abomination

Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.

For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.

All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.

Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war. He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips. Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

• Water
• Wine

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Give us this day our daily bread.

The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good. Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make inquiry. A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them. The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy. The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head. The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. show less

Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
