Sirach 29:24

²²Better is the life of a poor man in a mean cottage, than delicate fare in another man’s house.

²³Be it little or much, hold thee contented, that thou hear not the reproach of thy house.

— Sirach 29:24 —

²⁵Thou shalt entertain, and feast, and have no thanks: moreover thou shalt hear bitter words:

²⁶Come, thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feed me of that thou hast ready.
