Sirach 29:11 CPDV

⁹  And he will repay him with accusations and curses, and he will repay him with contempt, instead of with honor and kindness.

¹⁰  Many have refused to lend, not because of wickedness, but because they were afraid to be defrauded without cause.

¹¹  Yet truly, be more steadfast toward the humble, and you should not delay in acts of mercy toward them.

¹²  Assist the poor because of the commandment. And you should not send him away empty because of his dire need.

¹³  Lose your money to your brother and your friend. For you should not hide it under a stone to be lost.
