Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.117.4

RV 10.117.4

न स सखा यो न ददाति सख्ये सचाभुवे सचमानाय पित्वः । अपास्मात् प्रेयान् न तद् ओको अस्ति पृणन्तम् अन्यम् अरणं चिद् इच्छेत् ॥

na sa sakhā yo na dadāti sakhye sacābhuve sacamānāya pitvaḥ | apāsmāt preyān na tad oko asti pṛṇantam anyam araṇaṃ cid icchet ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

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.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
