Ben Sira 4:5

5 Turn not away thine eye from the needy, and give him no occasion to curse thee;

Ben Sira 4:5 In-Context

3 Add not more trouble to a heart that is vexed, and defer not to give to him that is in need.
4 Reject not the supplication of the afflicted, neither turn away thy face from a poor man.
5 Turn not away thine eye from the needy, and give him no occasion to curse thee;
6 for if he curse thee in the bitterness of his soul, his prayer shall be heard by Him that made him.
7 Get thyself the love of the congregation, and bow thy head to great man.
