Ben Sira 4:5

5 Do not avert your eye from the needy, nor give a man occasion to curse you;

Ben Sira 4:5 In-Context

3 Do not add to the troubles of an angry mind, nor delay your gift to a beggar.

4 Do not reject an afflicted suppliant, nor turn your face away from the poor.

5 Do not avert your eye from the needy, nor give a man occasion to curse you;

6 for if in bitterness of soul he calls down a curse upon you, his Creator will hear his prayer.

7 Make yourself beloved in the congregation; bow your head low to a great man.
