Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 13:3

πλούσιος ἠδίκησε, καὶ αὐτὸς προσενεβριμήσατο· πτωχὸς ἠδίκηται, καὶ αὐτὸς προσδεηθήσεται.
King James Version (KJV)

The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he threateneth withal: the poor is wronged, and he must intreat also.

Modern English

The rich man does wrong and then threatens on top of it; the poor man is wronged and has to beg for mercy besides.
