Knife to thy throat
- "Be not desirous of his dainties[1]: for they [are] deceitful meat." Proverbs 23:3
Why would the dainties of a ruler in Proverbs 23 be called deceitful meats and associated with workers of iniquity. And why does Proverbs go on to tell us not to eat the bread of those who have an evil eye?[2]
The word dainties in the Hebrew is matam (MemAyinTetMem) and is also translated savoury meat[3]
There are several places where the word dainties appears in the English text.[1]
Why are we told not to eat them and if we have an appetite for them to put a knife to our throat?
Not just an "appetite" but an appetite for the kings dainties. Those dainties are the wages of unrighteousness because those deceitful meats are benefits provided by men who exercise authority one over the other. You are entitled to the benefits provided by force, fear, and fealty as opposed to faith, hope and charity preached by Christ, Moses and the Prophets because you have consented to have one purse as we are told not to do in Proverbs 23. What is keeping you from repenting is often the appetite for benefits at the expense of your neighbor through the covetous practices of the welfare state.

| Proverbs 23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee: |
| 2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. |
| 3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.[4] |
| 4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. |
| 5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. |
| 6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: |
| 7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.[5] |
| 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. |
| 9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. |
| 10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:[6] |
We should never eat at the table of rulers who exercise authority one over the other because it requires that we covet our neighbors' goods.
Both David and Paul warned[7] us that those tables, which were welfare systems of legal charity like the Corban of the Pharisees are a snare because, as Peter said such covetous practices makes the people merchandise and will curse children.
Having a desire for the dainties, benefits, and welfare of these rulers who call themselves benefactors is having an appetite for what the Bible calls the wages of unrighteousness.
The modern Church tells the people in their own wisdom[8] that is okay to desire that welfare provided by the unrighteous mammon but Jesus said it is not to be that way with us.
Verse 6 of Proverbs 23 tells us not to eat the bread nor even desire those benefits that are sweat in the mouth but sour in the belly of those who covet their neighbor's goods through deceit. That sourness will cause us to vomit it up.
We should not listen to the modern Church and its false religion nor eat the feast[9] provided by those covetous practices. People today have need of the "baptism of repentance" if they desire the "remission of sin".
It was the freewill offerings and the charity of Israel, the early Church and America in the beginning which made the people strong, not the legal charity of socialism.
