Sirach 29:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ But yet towards the poor be thou more hearty, and delay not to shew him mercy.

¹² Help the poor because of the commandment: and send him not away empty handed because of his poverty.

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