“The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.”
Proverbs 23:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 23:8
The morsel you've eaten from a stingy host 'shalt thou vomit up,' and lose 'thy sweet words.' Eating with a grudging host becomes nauseating when you realize his true heart. Your pleasant conversation ('sweet words') is wasted on someone who resents your presence. This teaches that fellowship requires mutual goodwill. Reformed theology values genuine Christian community over superficial social interactions. We should invest our fellowship and words in relationships characterized by sincere love, not in contexts where we're resented.
