Sirach 29:21-23
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Home and Hospitality
21 The essentials for life are water and bread
and clothing and a house to cover one’s nakedness.
22 Better is the life of a poor man under the shelter of his roof
than sumptuous food in another man’s house.
23 Be content with little or much.[a]
