 | 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 |
Commentary
A person who is indifferent to people in need will find no one helping him when he calls out for help.
