Sirach 29:28LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 28 of 34
"Better is the poor man’s fare under a roof of boards, than sumptuous cheer abroad in another man’s house."
In context
26Recover thy neighbour according to thy power, and take heed to thyself that thou fall not.
27The chief thing for man’s life is water and bread, and clothing, and a house to cover shame.
28Better is the poor man’s fare under a roof of boards, than sumptuous cheer abroad in another man’s house.
29Be contented with little instead of much, and thou shalt not hear the reproach of going abroad.
30It is a miserable life to go as a guest from house to house: for where a man is a stranger, he shall not deal confidently, nor open his mouth.
