Ecclesiasticus 12:6

Ecclesiasticus 12:6 Context

³There can no good come to him that is always occupied in evil, nor to him that giveth no alms. ⁴Give to the godly man, and help not a sinner. ⁵Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster thee thereby: for else thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done unto him. ⁶For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of their punishment. ⁷Give unto the good, and help not the sinner. ⁸A friend cannot be known in prosperity: and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity. ⁹In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved: but in his adversity even a friend will depart.
