In context
5Turn not away thine eye from the needy, And give him none occasion to curse thee:
6For if he curse thee in the bitterness of his soul, His prayer shall be heard of him that made him.
— Sirach 4:7 —
8Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, And give him a friendly answer with meekness.
9Deliver him that suffereth wrong from the hand of the oppressor; And be not fainthearted when thou sittest in judgment.
