Wisdom of Ben Sira 21:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ Panic and violence will wipe out riches;
    similarly the house of the proud man will be laid waste.^[a]
5 The prayer of the poor man goes from his lips straight to the ear of God,
    and justice is speedily granted him.
⁶ One who hates reproof walks in the sinner’s path,
    but the man who fears the Lord repents in his heart.
