Ben Sira 29:12

12 Shut up alms in thy storehouses, and it shall deliver thee from all affliction.

Ben Sira 29:12 In-Context

10 Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it not rust under a stone to be lost.

11 Lay up thy treasure according to the commandments of the Most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold.

12 Shut up alms in thy storehouses, and it shall deliver thee from all affliction.

13 It shall fight for thee against thine enemies better than a mighty shield and strong spear.

14 An honest man is surety for his neighbor, but he that is shameless will forsake him.
