Sirach 13:23DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 23 of 32
"The wild ass is the lion’s prey in the desert: so also the poor are devoured by the rich."
In context
21If the wolf shall at any time have fellowship with the lamb, so the sinner with the just.
22What fellowship hath a holy man with a dog, or what part hath the rich with the poor?
23The wild ass is the lion’s prey in the desert: so also the poor are devoured by the rich.
24And as humility is an abomination to the proud: so also the rich man abhorreth the poor.
25When a rich man is shaken, he is kept up by his friends: but when a poor man is fallen down, he is thrust away even by his acquaintance.
