Sirach 40:29

En contexte

27There is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek for help.

28The fear of the Lord is like a paradise of blessing, and they have covered it above all glory.

29My son, in thy lifetime be not indigent: for it is better to die than to want.

30The life of him that looketh toward another man’s table is not to be counted a life: for he feedeth his soul with another man’s meat.

31But a man, well instructed and taught, will look to himself.
