Ben Sira 29:8

8 Yet, have thou patience with a man in poor estate, and delay not to show him mercy.

Ben Sira 29:8 In-Context

6 If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it; if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause. He payeth him with cursings and railings, and for honor he will pay him disgrace.

7 Many therefore have refused to lend for other men's ill-dealing, fearing to be defrauded.

8 Yet, have thou patience with a man in poor estate, and delay not to show him mercy.

9 Help the poor for the commandment's sake, and turn him not away because of his poverty.

10 Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it not rust under a stone to be lost.
