Sirach 40:28-30
Common English Bible
28 My child, don’t live the life of a beggar;
it’s better to die than to beg.
29 When people look
to another person’s table,
their way of life
cannot be considered a life.
They pollute themselves
by eating someone else’s food,
but a person who is intelligent
and educated will guard
against that.
30 In the mouth of the shameless,
begging is sweet,
but a fire will burn inside of them.
