Sirach 4:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ Bow down thy ear cheerfully to the poor, and pay what thou owest, and answer him peaceable words with mildness.

⁹ Deliver him that suffereth wrong out of the hand of the proud: and be not fainthearted in thy soul.

¹⁰ In judging be merciful to the fatherless as a father, and as a husband to their mother.
