Sirach 13:23-25
Revised Standard Version
23 When the rich man speaks all are silent,
and they extol to the clouds what he says.
When the poor man speaks they say, “Who is this fellow?”
And should he stumble, they even push him down.
24 Riches are good if they are free from sin,
and poverty is evil in the opinion of the ungodly.
25 A man’s heart changes his countenance,
either for good or for evil.[a]
