Sirach 29:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 It is a miserable life to go from house to house;
as a guest you should not open your mouth;(A)
25 you will play the host and provide drink without being thanked,
and besides this you will hear rude words like these:
26 “Come here, stranger, prepare the table;
let me eat what you have there.”
