Sirach 3:29-31
Revised Standard Version
Sirach 3:29-31
Revised Standard Version
29 The mind of the intelligent man will ponder a parable,
and an attentive ear is the wise man’s desire.
Alms for the Poor
30 Water extinguishes a blazing fire:
so almsgiving atones for sin.
31 Whoever requites favors gives thought to the future;
at the moment of his falling he will find support.
