Sirach 29:15LXX

13Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend: and hide it not under a stone to be lost.

14Place thy treasure in the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold.

15Shut up alms in the heart of the poor, and it shall obtain help for thee against all evil.

16Better than the shield of the mighty, and better than the spear:

17It shall fight for thee against thy enemy.
