Do not eat the bread of a stingy greedy man, nor desire his delicacies; For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you. The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up, And waste your pleasant words. - Proverbs 23:6-8

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. -Matthew 6:19-21
