Sirach 40:27-29 World English Bible (WEB)

27. The fear of the Lord is as a garden of blessing, And covers a man above all glory.

28. My son, lead not a beggar’s life; Better it is to die than to beg.

29. A man that looks to the table of another, His life is not to be counted for a life; He will pollute his soul with another man’s meats: But a man wise and well-instructed will beware thereof.
