In context
3The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he threateneth withal: The poor is wronged, and he must entreat also.
4If thou be for his profit, he will use thee; But if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee.
— Sirach 13:5 —
6If he have need of thee, he will deceive thee, And smile upon thee, and put thee in hope; He will speak thee fair, and say, What wantest thou?
7And he will shame thee by his meats, Until he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, And at the last he will laugh thee to scorn: Afterward, when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, And shake his head at thee.
