Sirach 13:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And as humility is an abomination to the proud: so also the rich man abhorreth the poor.

²⁵ When a rich man is shaken, he is kept up by his friends: but when a poor man is fallen down, he is thrust away even by his acquaintance.

²⁶ When a rich man hath been deceived, he hath many helpers: he hath spoken proud things, and they have justified him.
