Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 29:28

βαρέα ταῦτα ἀνθρώπῳ ἔχοντι φρόνησιν, ἐπιτίμησις οἰκίας καὶ ὀνειδισμὸς δανειστοῦ.
King James Version (KJV)

These things are grievous to a man of understanding; the upbraiding of houseroom, and reproaching of the lender.

Modern English

These things are hard for a sensible person to bear: being made to feel unwelcome in someone's home, and being insulted by a moneylender.
