Sirach 13:11-23
-
11 Affect not to be made equal unto him in talk, and believe not his many words: for with much communication will he tempt thee, and smiling upon thee will get out thy secrets:
-
12 But cruelly he will lay up thy words, and will not spare to do thee hurt, and to put thee in prison.
-
13 Observe, and take good heed, for thou walkest in peril of thy overthrowing: when thou hearest these things, awake in thy sleep.
-
14 Love the Lord all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation.
-
15 Every beast loveth his like, and every man loveth his neighbor.
-
16 All flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man will cleave to his like.
-
17 What fellowship hath the wolf with the lamb? so the sinner with the godly.
-
18 What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? and what peace between the rich and the poor?
-
19 As the wild ass is the lion's prey in the wilderness: so the rich eat up the poor.
-
20 As the proud hate humility: so doth the rich abhor the poor.
-
21 A rich man beginning to fall is held up of his friends: but a poor man being down is thrust away by his friends.
-
22 When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers: he speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men justify him: the poor man slipped, and yet they rebuked him too; he spake wisely, and could have no place.
-
23 When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his tongue, and, look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds: but if the poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this? and if he stumble, they will help to overthrow him.
