Sirach 29:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Help the poor because of the commandment: and send him not away empty handed because of his poverty.

¹³ Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend: and hide it not under a stone to be lost.

¹⁴ Place thy treasure in the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold.
