Wisdom of Ben Sira 22:23-24

New Catholic Bible

²³ Be faithful to your neighbor while he is poor
    so that you may later rejoice with him in his good fortune.
Stand by him in times of distress
    so that you may share with him in his inheritance.
[For no one should ever despise someone’s appearance
    or marvel at a stupid man who is rich.]^[a]
24 Just as the fumes and smoke of a furnace precede the flames,
    so do insults precede bloodshed.
