Ben Sira 25:2

2 Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doteth.

Ben Sira 25:2 In-Context

1 In three things I was glorified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbors, a man and a wife that agree together.
2 Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doteth.
3 If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, how canst thou find anything in thine age?
4 O how comely a thing is judgment for gray hairs, and for aged men to know counsel!
5 O how comely is the wisdom of old men, and understanding and counsel to men of honor!
