Ecclesiasticus 29:12 Context

⁹Help the poor for the commandment's sake, and turn him not away because of his poverty. ¹⁰Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it not rust under a stone to be lost. ¹¹Lay up thy treasure according to the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold. ¹²Shut up alms in thy storehouses: and it shall deliver thee from all affliction. ¹³It shall fight for thee against thine enemies better than a mighty shield and strong spear. ¹⁴An honest man is surety for his neighbour: but he that is impudent will forsake him. ¹⁵Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for he hath given his life for thee.
