My meal of plain bread is a feast in my home;
The wastrel feasted in my home
and the feast of misers is deadly poison.
While the miser's feast is bitter poison

It is a meal that passes; it was neither pleasant nor
Some dates and bread that brought no joy
easy to digest, and the hungry miser remembers it.
Remembered by the starving, greedy man
