26 Wealth and vigor make the heart exult,but better than either, fear of God.In the fear of the Lord there is no want;whoever has it need seek no other support.
27 The fear of God is a paradise of blessings;its canopy is over all that is glorious.
28 My son, do not live the life of a beggar;better to die than to beg.
29 When one has to look to a stranger’s table,life is not worth living.The delicacies offered bring revulsion of spirit,and to the intelligent, inward torture.
30 In the mouth of the shameless begging is sweet,but within him it burns like fire.
