When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you:
All Commentaries on Proverbs 23:1 Go To Proverbs 23
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
What is “the table of a powerful man” except that one from which is taken the body and blood of him who has laid down his life for us? And what is to sit at it except to approach humbly? And what is to consider and understand the things that are set before you except to reflect worthily upon so great a grace? Tractates on the Gospel of John
