Sirach 29:10
Print
Part with silver for a relative’s or friend’s sake, and don’t let it corrode under a stone and be destroyed.
Many have refused to lend, not out of wickedness, but they were afraid to be defrauded without cause.
It is better to lose your money by helping a relative or a friend than to lose it by letting it rust away under a rock somewhere.
Lose your money for relative or friend; do not hide it under a stone to rot.
Spend your money on your brother or your friend; do not hide it under a stone where it will rust away.
Lose your silver for the sake of a brother or a friend, and do not let it rust under a stone and be lost.
Lose your silver for the sake of a brother or a friend, and do not let it rust under a stone and be lost.
Lose your silver for the sake of a brother or a friend, and do not let it rust under a stone and be lost.
Lose your silver for the sake of a brother or a friend, and do not let it rust under a stone and be lost.
Lose your silver for the sake of a brother or a friend, and do not let it rust under a stone and be lost.
Lose your silver for the sake of a brother or a friend, and do not let it rust under a stone and be lost.
Lose thou money for a brother and friend, and hide thou not it under a stone, into perdition.
