23 Be content with a little or a lot,and you will never be put downfor being a sojourner.
24 Going from house to houseis a miserable life,and wherever you are an immigrant,don’t open your mouth.
25 You will entertain and provide drinkwithout thanks,and you will hear bitter wordssuch as these:
26 "Come here, foreigner, prepare a table;and if there’s something in your hand,feed it to me.
27 Go away, foreigner,I have a reputable guest;my brother has come to visit,and I need the house."
28 These are difficult thingsfor a person of intelligence:criticism for being an immigrantand rebuke from a moneylender.
