Ben Sira 13:20

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

Ben Sira 13:20 In-Context

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.
22 When 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 spoke wisely, and could have no place.
