Sirach 21:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ All iniquity is like a two-edged sword, there is no remedy for the wound thereof.

⁵ Injuries and wrongs will waste riches: and the house that is very rich shall be brought to nothing by pride: so the substance of the proud shall be rooted out.

⁶ The prayer out of the mouth of the poor shall reach the ears of God, and judgment shall come for him speedily.
