Proverbs 22:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ The rich ruleth over the poor: and the borrower is servant to him that lendeth.

⁸ He that soweth iniquity shall reap evils, and with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed.

⁹ He that is inclined to mercy shall be blessed: for of his bread he hath given to the poor. He that maketh presents shall purchase victory and honour: but he carrieth away the souls of the receivers.
