Sirach 25:1-2
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Those Who Are Worthy of Praise
25 My soul takes pleasure in three things,
and they are beautiful in the sight of the Lord and of men;[a]
agreement between brothers, friendship between neighbors,
and a wife and a husband who live in harmony.
2 My soul hates three kinds of men,
and I am greatly offended at their life:
a beggar who is proud, a rich man who is a liar,
and an adulterous old man who lacks good sense.
