Sirach 29:1-5

{29:1} He shows mercy who lends to his neighbor, for he keeps the commandments by strengthening him.
{29:2} Lend to your neighbor in his time of need, and receive it again from your neighbor in his time.
{29:3} Keep your word, and act faithfully with him, and then you will find whatever you need in every time.
{29:4} Many have treated a loan like found money, and they offered trouble to those who helped them.
{29:5} Until they receive, they kiss the hands of the giver, and they humble their voice in promises.
