Proverbs 23:6
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: (Proverbs 23:6)
An evil eye.
 The eye that cannot look upon the things of another without covetousness or jealous hatred. The warning against partaking of the hospitality of such men is, no doubt, based in part upon the fact that they look for a return from everything they give (see Deut. 15:9). In contrast, there are those who look upon others with “a bountiful,” or “good,” eye (Prov. 22:9; cf. Phil. 2:4).
