Ben Sira 20:10

10 There is a gift that is not profitable: and there is a gift, the recompense of which is double.

Ben Sira 20:10 In-Context

8 He that useth many words shall hurt his own soul: and he that taketh authority to himself unjustly shall be hated.
9 There is success in evil things to a man without discipline, and there is a finding that turneth to loss.
10 There is a gift that is not profitable: and there is a gift, the recompense of which is double.
11 There is an abasement because of glory: and there is one that shall lift up his head from a low estate.
12 There is that buyeth much for a small price, and restoreth the same sevenfold.
