Sirach 21:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵ The prayer of a poor man goes from his lips to the ears of God,^[a]
    and his judgment comes speedily.
⁶ Whoever hates reproof walks in the steps of the sinner,
    but he that fears the Lord will repent in his heart.
⁷ He who is mighty in speech is known from afar;
    but the sensible man, when he slips, is aware of it.
