Sirach 21:6 CPDV

⁴  All iniquity is like a two-edged spear; there is no healing in its wound.

⁵  Reproach and injury will make resources useless. And a house that is exceedingly wealthy will become powerless through pride. In this way, the resources of the arrogant will be eradicated.

⁶  Supplications from the mouth of the pauper will reach all the way to the ears of God, and judgment will come to him quickly.

⁷  Whoever hates correction is walking in the steps of a sinner. But whoever fears God will convert within his heart.

⁸  He who has power by means of a bold tongue will be known from far away. But an understanding man knows to slip past him.
