Ecclesiasticus 13:19

Ecclesiasticus 13:19 Context

¹⁶All flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man will cleave to his like. ¹⁷What fellowship hath the wolf with the lamb? so the sinner with the godly. ¹⁸What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? and what peace between the rich and the poor? ¹⁹As the wild ass is the lion's prey in the wilderness: so the rich eat up the poor. ²⁰As the proud hate humility: so doth the rich abhor the poor. ²¹A rich man beginning to fall is held up of his friends: but a poor man being down is thrust away by his friends. ²²When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers: he speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men justify him: the poor man slipped, and yet they rebuked him too; he spake wisely, and could have no place.
