Wisdom of Ben Sira Chapter 4

There was one line in this chapter that I found myself meditating on...Verse 17 says "I will walk with them in disguise..." Since this chapter starts off by saying "do not mock the poor..." I put the two together and wonder if this is what Jesus refers to in Matthew 25 when he says: "I was hungry and you gave me food..." And the righteous ask, "when did we see you hungry..." and Jesus' answer was as often as you did it for one of these least ones, we did it for him. Wisdom, God, Jesus all in disguise as the poor.  Talk about challenging. What are your thoughts?
