5. Wilt thou set thine eye 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, he saith unto thee, but his heart is not with thee.

I was just looking for the Proverb that says "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," and apparently it comes from this little set of verses. I decided that I liked the verse two before that statement and the one in the middle contextualizes it so I kept it in, even though it doesn't seem to be that important.
If every man had a heart as gentle and caring as yours, this world would be SUCH a better place!
