Sirach 29:27 CPDV

²⁵  A sinner transgressing the commandment of the Lord will fall into a wicked promise. And he who undertakes many things will fall into judgment.

²⁶  Help your neighbor to recover according to your ability, but attend to yourself, lest you also fall.

²⁷  The primary need in a man's life is water and bread, and clothing, and a house to protect modesty.

²⁸  A pauper's food under a roof of boards is better than a splendid feast on a sojourn away from home.

²⁹  Let yourself be pleased with little instead of much, and you will not hear the reproach of being away from home.
