Proverbs 21:13

Proverbs 21:13 If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered. Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor Will also cry himself and not be answered. Proverbs 21:13
