Sirach 21:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
3 All lawlessness is like a two-edged sword;
there is no healing for the wound it inflicts.
4 Panic and insolence will waste away riches;
thus the house of the proud will be laid waste.[a]
5 The prayer of the poor goes from their lips to the ears of God,[b]
and his judgment comes speedily.
