“The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.”
You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments—a consequence of eating with the stingy person: the experience becomes nauseating, leaving the guest worse off. The image of vomiting is crude intentionally; it emphasizes the rejection of contaminated generosity. The theological significance involves the principle that false fellowship becomes toxic.
