Ben Sira 1:28

28 Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor, and come not unto Him with a double heart.

Ben Sira 1:28 In-Context

26 If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.
27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction, and faith and meekness are His delight.
28 Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor, and come not unto Him with a double heart.
29 Be not a hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good heed what thou speakest.
30 Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall and bring dishonor upon thy soul, and so God uncover thy secrets and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit.
