"Turn not sway thy face from thy neighbour, and of taking away a portion and not restoring."
Sirach 41:26

In context

24Of theft, and of the truth of God, and the covenant: of leaning with thy elbow over meat, and of deceit in giving and taking:

25Of silence before them that salute thee: of looking upon a harlot: and of turning away thy face from thy kinsman.

26Turn not sway thy face from thy neighbour, and of taking away a portion and not restoring.

27Gaze not upon another man’s wife, and be not inquisitive after his handmaid, and approach not her bed.

28Be ashamed of upbraiding speeches before friends: and after thou hast given, upbraid not.
