ζωὴ πονηρὰ ἐξ οἰκίας εἰς οἰκίαν, καὶ οὗ παροικήσεις, οὐκ ἀνοίξει στόμα.
King James Version (KJV)

For it is a miserable life to go from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth.

For it is a miserable life to move from house to house, since wherever you are a guest, you dare not speak your mind.
