Sirach 40:30

30 In the mouth of the shameless, begging is sweet, but a fire will burn inside of them.

Sirach 40:30 In-Context

28 My child, don't live the life of a beggar; it's better to die than to beg.

29 When people look to another person's table, their way of life cannot be considered a life. They pollute themselves by eating someone else's food, but a person who is intelligent and educated will guard against that.

30 In the mouth of the shameless, begging is sweet, but a fire will burn inside of them.
