Ben Sira 29:6 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

If he can pay, the lender will recover barely half,and will consider that a windfall.If he cannot pay, the lender is cheated of his moneyand acquires an enemy at no extra charge;With curses and insults the borrower will repay,and instead of honor will repay with abuse.
