Ben Sira 13:19

19 As the wild ass is the lion's prey in the wilderness, so the rich eat up the poor.

Ben Sira 13:19 In-Context

17 What fellowship hath the wolf with the lamb? So the sinner with the godly.

18 What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? And what peace between the rich and the poor?

19 As the wild ass is the lion's prey in the wilderness, so the rich eat up the poor.

20 As the proud hate humility, so doth the rich abhor the poor.

21 A rich man beginning to fall is held up by his friends, but a poor man being down is thrust also away by his friends.
