Sirach 13:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
19 Wild asses in the wilderness are the prey of lions;
likewise the poor are feeding-grounds for the rich.
20 Humility is an abomination to the proud;
likewise the poor are an abomination to the rich.
21 When the rich person totters, he is supported by friends,
but when the humble[a] falls, he is pushed away even by friends.
