Sirach 29:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Part with silver for a relative’s
or friend’s sake,
    and don’t let it corrode under a stone
    and be destroyed.
¹¹ Invest your treasure
        according to the commandments
        of the Most High,
    and it will profit you more than gold.
¹² Store up acts of charity in your treasuries,
    and it will deliver you
    from every distress.
