"Be not desirous of his dainties[1]: for they [are] deceitful meat." Proverbs 23:3[2]
Desiring benefits from rulers is desiring gains. “He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.” Proverbs 15:27
“The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.” Proverbs 12:24
The early Church was the social safety net for all followers of Christ all over the Roman Empire and beyond, not just in their local congregations and not just sharing now and then but "fervent charity".
 : "For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same." Luke 6:32
That early Church was extremely organized. One of the reasons the governments of the "world" feared early Christians was because of their "union and discipline". The Roman people were also jealous of their network of charity we see Paul and others working so hard at which provided the almost sole social safety net for all Christians.
What Christians would not do is take the benefits from the governments and rulers of the world. They did not apply for the free bread of Caesar. They did not covet their neighbor's stuff, money, sweat and labor through those men who called themselves benefactors but who exercise authority.[3]
Can anyone really call themselves Christian while they are sitting at the tables of rulers who exercise authority, take from their neighbor to provide benefits for their gain?

Dainties of Rulers

Why would the dainties of a ruler in Proverbs 23 be called deceitful meats and associated with workers of iniquity.[4] And why does Proverbs go on to tell us not to eat the bread of those who have an evil eye?[5]

The word dainties in the Hebrew is matam (MemAyinTetMem) and is also translated savoury meat[6]

There are several places where the word dainties appears in the English text.[1]

Why are we told not to eat them and if we have an appetite for them to put a knife to our throat?

Not just an "appetite" but an appetite for the kings dainties. Those dainties are the wages of unrighteousness because those deceitful meats are benefits provided by men who exercise authority one over the other. You are become entitled to the benefits provided by rulers of force, fear, and fealty if you apply for their offered benefits of free bread through systems of "legal charity". But the rulers may gain at the same time an entitlement to your compliance. obedience, and allegiance.

Such systems or social safety nets through rulers are opposed to the faith, hope and charity preached by Christ, Moses and the Prophets because they often involve consent that may establish systems of servitude.

That may lead to a system where you actually own nothing because the whole nation has one purse.

The "dainties" of rulers are the "entitlements" of the welfare State. The legal charity distributed to the masses degenerate the people because they are not provided by fervent charity which often include the tough love of the righteous.[7] The dainties of their table is a snare of iniquity.[8]

We were told not to go that way in Proverbs 23. There are warnings about this in the Old and New Testaments, from the prophets and in the Doctrines of Jesus.

What is keeping you from repenting is often the appetite for benefits at the expense of your neighbor through the covetous practices of the welfare state.


The dainties of rulers, like the tables that were supposed to be for their welfare was a snare and trap.[9] As covetous practices[10] they are the idolatry[11] that makes us merchandise and curse children to say nothing of returning the masses to the Bondage of Egypt.


Knife to thy throat

We should never develop an appetite to eat at the table of rulers who exercise authority one over the other[3] because that practice is clearly covetous and therefore idolatry.[11]

Since, those rulers only takes from our neighbors' goods which is one of those deeds of the Nicolaitan and the error[12] of Balaam that God hates and Jesus told us to not be that way.

If we find ourself entangled again in the snare of the wicked we can put a knife to our own throat as we repent and seek the way of righteousness.

From the earliest times the power and possession of tyrants have enticed the people with gifts and gratuities. Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh and Herod. Historians like Polybius, philosophers like Plutarch, all the prophets and Apostles have been issuing their warnings the people of coveting their benefits of rulers.


Comments
Proverbs 23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what [is] before thee:
2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.[13]
4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes 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, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.[14]
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words but the fool will not hear.
10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:[15]

Both David and Paul warned[16] us that those tables, which were welfare systems of legal charity like the Corban of the Pharisees are a snare because, as Peter said such covetous practices makes the people merchandise and will curse children.

Having a desire for the dainties, benefits, and welfare of these rulers who call themselves benefactors is having an appetite for what the Bible calls the wages of unrighteousness.

The modern Church tells the people in their own wisdom[17] that is okay to desire that welfare provided by the unrighteous mammon but Jesus said it is not to be that way with us.

Verse 6 of Proverbs 23 tells us not to eat the bread nor even desire those benefits that are sweat in the mouth but sour in the belly of those who covet their neighbor's goods through deceit. That sourness will cause us to vomit it up.

We should not listen to the modern Church and its false religion nor eat the feast[18] provided by those covetous practices. People today have need of the "baptism of repentance" if they desire the "remission of sin".

It was the freewill offerings and the charity of Israel, the early Church and America in the beginning which made the people strong, not the legal charity of socialism.


Civic Flesh pots

The cities of blood [19] where the city is the caldron, and we be the flesh are spoken of by the prophets.[20] A theme repeated throughout the history of man from the bondage of Egypt to the Golden calf. From Nimrod's Babylon to Caesar's free bread of the Imperial Cult of Rome and Herod's and the Pharisees' Corban man has bound himself in systems that lead to tyranny through greed and wantonness.

Flesh pots and caldrons[21]are equated with the cities established by iniquity and run to shed blood[22] through social compacts or civil systems of government which are greedy for gain willing to have One purse despite the warnings in the Bible.

They are the cities of blood spoken of by Jeremiah[23], Ezekiel[24], Hosea[25], Nahum[26], Habakkuk[27], and even Revelation.[28]

If you are taking a bite out of the flesh of your neighbor or treading[29] on your neighbor through men who exercise authority your house is full of leaven and you have returned to the flesh pots when you were in the Bondage of Egypt and have been building the cities of blood for generations.

This metaphor of flesh[30] pots[31] is first seen in Exodus 16:3 where the people had been snared[16] by the welfare of Egypt into a system of Corvee or bondage but were able to sit and fill themselves. Once free in the wilderness life was not so certain.

But a voluntary system of welfare where you have no guarantee of benefits or dainties forced by rulers for the redistribution of wealth by men who call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority produces a different result. By its nature a system of Free Assemblies seems to strengthen the poor.[32]

In Micah 3:3 the Bible talks about those, who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.[33] because the people "Who hate the good, and love the evil". This is again a metaphor of the civil system which allows the people to take a bite out of one another through the exercising authority of a system that takes by force from one class of citizen to feed another.

This is nothing but the conflict between Charitable Practices and Pure Religion verses Covetous Practices and Public religion which what was wrong with the Corban of the Pharisees and at the root of the Christian conflict with Rome and its Temples.

Christ's appointed Church took from some to feed others but that giving and taking was a free society because it was based on charity as John the Baptist and Jesus taught. This was no different than the freewill offerings of Moses's Republic or Abraham's Altars.

The Church took from one class of citizen and gave to another too.

In about AD 150, Justin Martyr, hoping to clear the misconceptions and prejudices surrounding Christianity, wrote the Emperor of Rome Antoninus Pius in defense of the Christian faith and allegiance to Christ which was the Liturgy of the His Church:

“And the wealthy among us help the needy ... and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.” (Ch. 65-67)

Justin would not trade his faith in Christ for the benefits of Rome because he knew that what they offered for his welfare was truly a snare of recompense.[16]

"And those who have among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost."[34]

The City is the caldron

Ezekiel's Caldron
In Ezekiel 11:2 The "men that devise mischief" are those who suggest that covetous practices of men who call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority are not against God.
Ezekiel 11:3 The civil system becomes a caldron where the people are the flesh[30] like the city states of Cain, Nimrod, Sodom, Pharaoh and Caesar's Rome, including the New Deal and Great Society of FDR and LBJ.
Those people do not Keep the Commandments[35] and follow the ways of faith, hope, and charity rather than the force, fear, and fealty of the Cities that are a caldron.
They are far from "the way of Jesus.[36]
Correct knowledge has no value to man for the revealing of the truth unless he careth about others with courage.


Zechariah 14:20 "In that day shall there be upon the bells[37] of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots <05518> in the LORD’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21 Yea, every pot <05518> in Jerusalem(double peace)[38] and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts."

Bite one another

If you read way back in Micah they were talking about those who "hate the good, and love the evil". They even supposedly "pluck off their skin", "their flesh from off their bones" and "eat the flesh of my people". [39] They do this and put them in a caldron.

Is the Bible talking about cannibals?

Shall they Go and cry unto the Lord? It goes on to say that God will not hear them when they do cry out. Why?[40]

They talk about people biting one another[41] and goes on to tell you that you won't be able to see clearly like when Christ warned the Pharisees that he would take sight from them.[42]

Those who should warn you will fail to do so and God will raise new shepherds who will warn those who will hear.[43]

Again in Habakkuk we see reference to this idea of biting one another and you shall be booty which is to say a spoil or surety or even Merchandise.[44] This will come about because you have done the same to many nations[45]

This is in accord with as you judge so shall ye be judged and sow the wind reap the whirlwind[46] precept of the Bible. And this warning of woe is also related to covetousness[47]

And then warns again that if you build a city or government that takes the blood [19] of your neighbor through covetousness that you are workers of iniquity.[48]

Even in the New Testament we see this idea that we are called to liberty which requires love but if we bite one another that we will also be devoured.[49]

    Revelation 2:14-17 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication ("to permit one’s self to be drawn away by another into idolatry"). 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]."

  49. ↑ Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
