Sirach 4:8-10

Wycliffe Bible

⁸ Bow down without sorrow thine ear to a poor man [or to the poor], and yield thy debt, and answer thou peaceably in mildness (or with meekness).

⁹ Deliver thou him that suffereth wrong from the hand of a proud man, and bear thou not heavily in thy soul (when deeming).

¹⁰ In deeming be thou merciful as a father to fatherless children, and be thou for an husband to the mother of them; and thou shalt be as an obedient [or as an obeisant] son of the Highest, and he shall have mercy on thee more than a mother hath mercy on her child.
