Sirach 12:3-5
Good News Translation
3 No good ever comes to a person who gives comfort to the wicked; it is not a righteous act.[a] 4 Give to religious people, but don't help sinners. 5 Do good to humble people, but don't give anything to those who are not devout. Don't give them food, or they will use your kindness against you. Every good thing you do for such people will bring you twice as much trouble in return.
