Wisdom of Ben Sira 29:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ It is a miserable life to go from house to house,
    realizing that as a guest you dare not open your mouth.
²⁵ You receive no gratitude for serving the drinks,
    and in addition you must listen to bitter words like these:
²⁶ “Come here, stranger, and set the table;
    let me eat the food you have there.”
