Sirach 13:19

19 Wild asses in the desert are prey for lions; so the poor are feeding grounds for the rich.

Sirach 13:19 In-Context

17 What does a wolf have in common with a lamb? So sinners have nothing in common with the godly.

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

19 Wild asses in the desert are prey for lions; so the poor are feeding grounds for the rich.

20 The arrogant detest humility; so the rich detest the poor.

21 When rich people stumble, they are supported by friends. But when the humble fall, their own friends push them away.
