Sirach 29:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ Assist your neighbor to the best of your ability,
    but be careful not to fall yourself.

²¹ The necessities of life are water, bread, and clothing,
    and also a house to assure privacy.
²² Better is the life of the poor under their own crude roof
    than sumptuous food in the house of others.
