Ben Sira 4:31

31 Let not thine hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when thou shouldest repay.

Ben Sira 4:31 In-Context

29 Be not hasty with thy tongue, and in thy deeds slack and remiss.
30 Be not as a lion in thy house, nor frantic among thy servants.
31 Let not thine hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when thou shouldest repay.
