Sirach 29:26-28

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁶ “Come here, stranger, prepare the table,
    and if you have anything at hand, let me have it to eat.”
²⁷ “Give place, stranger, to an honored person;
    my brother has come to stay with me; I need my house.”
²⁸ These things are hard to bear for a man who has feeling:
    scolding about lodging^[a] and the reproach of the moneylender.
