Ben Sira 29:27

Listen to Ben Sira 29:27
27 "Give place, stranger, to an honored person; my brother has come to stay with me; I need my house."

Ben Sira 29:27 In-Context

25 you will play the host and provide drink without being thanked, and besides this you will hear bitter words:
26 "Come here, stranger, prepare the table, and if you have anything at hand, let me have it to eat."
27 "Give place, stranger, to an honored person; my brother has come to stay with me; I need my house."
28 These things are hard to bear for a man who has feeling: scolding about lodging and the reproach of the moneylender.
