Sirach 40:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ The fear of the Lord is like a paradise of blessing, and they have covered it above all glory.

²⁹ My son, in thy lifetime be not indigent: for it is better to die than to want.

³⁰ The life of him that looketh toward another man's table is not to be counted a life: for he feedeth his soul with another man's meat.
