Sirach 31:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ The lips of many shall bless him that is liberal of his bread, and the testimony of his truth is faithful.

²⁹ Against him that is niggardly of his bread, the city will murmur, and the testimony of his niggardliness is true.

³⁰ Challenge not them that love wine: for wine hath destroyed very many.
