Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 23:6

6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye , neither desire thou his dainty meats.

Of the envious or covetous man, who secretly grudgeth thee the meat which he sets before thee, as this Phrase is used, Prov. 28. 22. Mat. 20. 15. as on the contrary a liberal man is said to have a good Eye, Prov. 22. 9.
