Ecclesiasticus 29:24 Context
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. 24For it is a miserable life to goe from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth. 25Thou shalt entertaine and feast, and haue no thankes: moreouer, thou shalt heare bitter words. 26Come thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feede me of that thou hast ready.
