Ecclesiasticus 13:20

Ecclesiasticus 13:20 Context

¹⁸What agreement is there betweene the Hyena and a dogge? and what peace betweene the rich and the poore? ¹⁹As the wilde asse is the lyons pray in the wildernesse: so the rich eate vp the poore. ²⁰As the proud hate humilitie: so doth the rich abhorre the poore. ²¹A rich man beginning to fall, is held vp of his friends: but a poore man being downe, is thrust also away by his friends. ²²When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers: he speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men iustifie him: the poore man slipt, and yet they rebuked him too: he spake wisely, and could haue no place.
