Ecclesiasticus 13:19 Context
17What fellowship hath the wolfe with the lambe? so the sinner with the godly. 18What agreement is there betweene the Hyena and a dogge? and what peace betweene the rich and the poore? 19As the wilde asse is the lyons pray in the wildernesse: so the rich eate vp the poore. 20As the proud hate humilitie: so doth the rich abhorre the poore. 21A rich man beginning to fall, is held vp of his friends: but a poore man being downe, is thrust also away by his friends.
