Sirach 3:30 In-Context

28 There's no healing for the distress of arrogant people, because an evil plant has taken root in them.

29 The hearts of intelligent people will think about a proverb, and the wise desire people who are ready to listen.

30 Water will put out a blazing fire, and giving to those in need will make up for sins.

31 Those who repay favors consider the future, and at the moment when they fall, they will find support.
