Ben Sira 4:9 In-Context

7 Endear yourself to the congregation; bow your head low to the great.
8 Give a hearing to the poor, and return their greeting politely.
9 Rescue the oppressed from the oppressor; and do not be hesitant in giving a verdict.
10 Be a father to orphans, and be like a husband to their mother; you will then be like a son of the Most High, and he will love you more than does your mother.
11 Wisdom teaches her children and gives help to those who seek her.
