Ben Sira 13:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 Wealth is good where there is no sin;[a]
but poverty is evil by the standards of the proud.
25 The heart changes one’s face,
either for good or for evil.(A)
26 The sign of a good heart is a radiant face;
withdrawn and perplexed is the toiling schemer.
