Sirach 29:24 CPDV

²²  A man offers credit to his neighbor. But when he will have lost respect, he will abandon him.

²³  A wicked promise has destroyed many who had good intentions, and has tossed them like a wave on the ocean.

²⁴  It has caused powerful men to travel around, and they have wandered amid foreign nations.

²⁵  A sinner transgressing the commandment of the Lord will fall into a wicked promise. And he who undertakes many things will fall into judgment.

²⁶  Help your neighbor to recover according to your ability, but attend to yourself, lest you also fall.
