Sirach 29:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹¹ Lay up your treasure according to the commandments of the Most High,
    and it will profit you more than gold.
¹² Store up almsgiving in your treasury,
    and it will rescue you from every disaster;
¹³ better than a stout shield and a sturdy spear,
    it will fight for you against the enemy.
