Sir 40:30
King James Version
“Begging is sweet in the mouth of the shameless: but in his belly there shall burn a fire.”
Context
27The fear of the Lord is a fruitful garden, and covereth him above all glory.
28My son, lead not a beggar’s life; for better it is to die than to beg.
29The 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.
30Begging is sweet in the mouth of the shameless: but in his belly there shall burn a fire.
