Sirach 21:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated 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 uprooted.[a]
5 The prayer of the poor goes from their lips to the ears of God,[b]
    and his judgment comes speedily.(A)
