Ben Sira 29:27 In-Context

25 You welcome the guests and pour the drinks, and nobody thanks you. Instead, people humiliate you by saying things like:
26 "Stranger! Come here and set the table! I want to eat what you've got there! Give it here!
27 Go away, stranger! I've got an important guest! My brother is coming to visit, and I need the room!"
28 Being denied hospitality or having a moneylender hound you - these are hard things for any sensitive person to endure.
