Ben Sira 13:19

19 The rich hunt down the poor just as lions hunt down wild donkeys in the open country.

Ben Sira 13:19 In-Context

17 A sinner has no more in common with a devout person than a wolf has with a lamb.

18 Rich people have no more in common with poor people than hyenas have with dogs.

19 The rich hunt down the poor just as lions hunt down wild donkeys in the open country.

20 Arrogant people have nothing but scorn for the humble, and the rich think of the poor in the same way.

21 When a rich person stumbles, his friends will steady him, but if a poor person falls, his friends will have nothing to do with him.
