Sirach 29:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Store up almsgiving in your treasury,
and it will rescue you from every disaster;(A)
13 better than a stout shield and a sturdy spear,
it will fight for you against the enemy.
On Guaranteeing Debts
14 A good person will be surety for his neighbor,
but the one who has lost all sense of shame will fail him.
