Sirach 13:26DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 26 of 32

"When a rich man hath been deceived, he hath many helpers: he hath spoken proud things, and they have justified him."
Sirach 13:26

In context

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.

26When a rich man hath been deceived, he hath many helpers: he hath spoken proud things, and they have justified him.

27The poor man was deceived, and he is rebuked also: he hath spoken wisely, and could have no place.

28The rich man spoke, and all held their peace, and what he said they extol even to the clouds.
