Sirach 26:28-29

Common English Bible

²⁸ My heart has been saddened
by two things,
        and I was made angry because of a third:
    a warrior who is needy
    and impoverished,
    intelligent people who are treated
    with contempt,
    and people who are turned
    from righteousness to sin—
        the Lord will prepare them
        for the sword.
