Ben Sira 13:19

19 Wild asses in the wilderness are the prey of lions; likewise the poor are pastures for the rich.

Ben Sira 13:19 In-Context

17 What fellowship has a wolf with a lamb? No more has a sinner with a godly man.

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

19 Wild asses in the wilderness are the prey of lions; likewise the poor are pastures for the rich.

20 Humility is an abomination to a proud man; likewise a poor man is an abomination to a rich one.

21 When a rich man totters, he is steadied by friends, but when a humble man falls, he is even pushed away by friends.
