10.117.4

na sa sakhā̱ yo na dadā̍ti̱ sakhye̍ sacā̱bhuve̱ saca̍mānāya pi̱tvaḥ |
apā̍smā̱t preyā̱n na tad oko̍ asti pṛ̱ṇanta̍m a̱nyam ara̍ṇaṁ cid icchet ||

No friend is he who to his friend and comrade who comes imploring food, will offer nothing. Let him depart-no home is that to rest in-, and rather seek a stranger to support him.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
