Sirach 29:22

22 Better is the life of the poor under a shelter of rafters than magnificent food in foreign countries.

Sirach 29:22 In-Context

20 Help your neighbor as much as you can, but keep yourself from ruin.

21 Life's foundations are water, bread, clothing, and a house for ensuring privacy.

22 Better is the life of the poor under a shelter of rafters than magnificent food in foreign countries.

23 Be content with a little or a lot, and you will never be put down for being a sojourner.

24 Going from house to house is a miserable life, and wherever you are an immigrant, don't open your mouth.
