Ben Sira 40:32

32 Begging will be sweet in the mouth of the unwise, but in his belly there shall burn a fire.

Ben Sira 40:32 In-Context

30 The 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.
31 But a man, well instructed and taught, will look to himself.
32 Begging will be sweet in the mouth of the unwise, but in his belly there shall burn a fire.
