Ben Sira 40:30

30 Begging is sweet in the mouth of the shameless, but in his belly there shall burn a fire.

Ben Sira 40:30 In-Context

28 My son, lead not a beggar's life, for better it is to die than to beg.
29 The life of him that dependeth on another man's table is not to be counted for a life, for he polluteth himself with other men's meat; but a wise man well-nurtured will beware thereof.
30 Begging is sweet in the mouth of the shameless, but in his belly there shall burn a fire.
