Sirach 13:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 A rich person does wrong and even adds insults;
a poor person suffers wrong and must add apologies.(A)
4 Rich people[a] will exploit you[b] if you can be of use to them,
but if you are in need they will abandon you.
5 If you own something, they will live with you;
they will drain your resources without a qualm.
