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