Ecclesiasticus 13:18 — Sirach 13:18

When a rich man stumbles he is supported by a friend; when a poor man trips he is pushed down by a friend. Many are the supporters for a rich man when he speaks; though what he says is odious, it wins approval. When a poor man speaks they make sport of him, he speak wisely and no attention is paid him. A rich man speaks and all are silent, his wisdom they extol to the clouds. A poor man speaks and they say: “Who is that?”  If he slips they cast him down. The word of the LORD. Thanks be to God.
