Ecclesiasticus 14:4

Ecclesiasticus 14:4 Context

¹Blessed is the man that hath not slipped with his mouth, and is not pricked with the multitude of sins. ²Blessed is he whose conscience hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord. ³Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an envious man do with money? ⁴He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously. ⁵He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods. ⁶There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this is a recompence of his wickedness. ⁷And if he doeth good, he doeth it unwillingly; and at the last he will declare his wickedness.
