Sirach 29:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ Many men lend not, not for cause of wickedness, but they dreaded to be defrauded without cause. [Many, not because of shrewdness (or depravity), lend not, but to be beguiled willfully, they dreaded.]

⁸ Nevertheless on (or for) a meek man in soul, that is, a full poor debtor, be thou stronger; and for alms[-deed(s)] draw thou not him (along).

⁹ For the commandment of God take (or receive) thou a poor man; and for his neediness leave thou not him void (or do not let him go away empty-handed). [Many, not because of shrewdness (or depravity), lend not, but to be beguiled willfully, they dreaded.]
