Sirach 21:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

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 judgement comes speedily.
⁶ Those who hate reproof walk in the sinner’s steps,
    but those who fear the Lord repent in their heart.
