Sirach 21:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ Injuries and wrongs will waste riches: and the house that is very rich shall be brought to nothing by pride: so the substance of the proud shall be rooted out.

⁶ The prayer out of the mouth of the poor shall reach the ears of God, and judgment shall come for him speedily.

⁷ He that hateth to be reproved walketh in the trace of a sinner: and he that feareth God will turn to his own heart.
