26 Help your neighbor to recover according to your ability, but attend to yourself, lest you also fall.
27 The primary need in a man's life is water and bread, and clothing, and a house to protect modesty.
28 A pauper's food under a roof of boards is better than a splendid feast on a sojourn away from home.
29 Let yourself be pleased with little instead of much, and you will not hear the reproach of being away from home.
30 It is a wicked life to go from house to house as a guest. For wherever he is a guest, he will not act confidently, nor open his mouth.
31 He will entertain, and feed, and give drink to the ungrateful, and beyond this, he will listen to bitter words:
32 "Go, my guest, and set the table, and let others eat from what you have in your hand."
