Ben Sira 4:5

5 Do not avert your eye from the needy, and give no one reason to curse you;

Ben Sira 4:5 In-Context

3 Do not add to the troubles of the desperate, or delay giving to the needy.

4 Do not reject a suppliant in distress, or turn your face away from the poor.

5 Do not avert your eye from the needy, and give no one reason to curse you;

6 for if in bitterness of soul some should curse you, their Creator will hear their prayer.

7 Endear yourself to the congregation; bow your head low to the great.
