24Riches are good unto him that hath no sin, And poverty is evil in the mouth of the ungodly.

22When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers: He speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men justify him: The poor man slipped, and yet they rebuked him too; He spoke wisely, and could have no place.
23When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his tongue, And, look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds: But if the poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this? And if he stumble, they will help to overthrow him.
— Sirach 13:24 —
25The heart of a man changeth his countenance, whether it be for good or evil.
26A cheerful countenance is a token of a heart that is in prosperity; And the finding out of parables is a wearisome labor of the mind.
