Sirach 4:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ Reject not the petition of the afflicted: and turn not away thy face from the needy.

⁵ Turn not away thy eyes from the poor for fear of anger: and leave not to them that ask of thee to curse thee behind thy back.

⁶ For the prayer of him that curseth thee in the bitterness of his soul, shall be heard, for he that made him will hear him.
