Sirach 40:27-29
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
27 The fear of the Lord is like a garden of blessing,
and covers a person better than any glory.
The Disgrace of Begging
28 My child, do not lead the life of a beggar;
it is better to die than to beg.
29 When one looks to the table of another,
one’s way of life cannot be considered a life.
One loses self-respect with another person’s food,
but one who is intelligent and well instructed guards against that.
