Sirach 25:1-4 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. My spirit is pleased with three things; these are approved in the sight of God and men:

2. the harmony of brothers, and the love of neighbors, and a husband and wife agreeing well together.

3. My soul hates three kinds of things; and I am greatly distressed over their souls:

4. an arrogant pauper, a wealthy liar, a foolish and senseless elder.
