Sirach 13:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
2 Do not lift a weight too heavy for you,
or associate with one mightier and richer than you.
How can the clay pot associate with the iron kettle?
The pot will strike against it and be smashed.
3 A rich person does wrong, and even adds insults;
a poor person suffers wrong, and must add apologies.
4 A rich person[a] will exploit you if you can be of use to him,
but if you are in need he will abandon you.
