4
He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul gathereth for others, who shall spend his goods riotously.
5
He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? He shall not take pleasure in his goods.
6
There is none worse than he that begrudgeth himself, and this is a recompense for his wickedness.
7
And if he doeth good, he doeth it unwillingly; and at the last he will declare his wickedness.
8
The envious man hath a wicked eye; he turneth away his face, and despiseth men.
9
A covetous man's eye is not satisfied with his portion, and the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul.
10
A wicked eye envieth his bread, and he is a niggard at his table.
11
My son, according to thy ability do good to thyself, and give the Lord His due offering.
12
Remember that death will not be long in coming, and that the covenant of the grave is not shown unto thee.
13
Do good unto thy friend before thou die, and according to thy ability stretch out thy hand and give to him.
14
Defraud not thyself of the good day, and let not the part of a good desire overpass thee.
