Ecclesiasticus 29:21 Context
19A wicked man transgressing the commandements of the Lord, shall fall into suretiship: and hee that vndertaketh and followeth other mens businesse for gaine, shall fall into suits. 20Helpe thy neighbour according to thy power, and beware that thou thy selfe fall not into the same. 21The chiefe thing for life is water and bread, and clothing, and an house to couer shame. 22Better is the life of a poore man in a meane cottage, then delicate fare in another mans house. 23Be it little or much, holde thee contented, that thou heare not the reproch of thy house.
