Ben Sira 5:1

1 Set not thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, "I have enough for my life."

Ben Sira 5:1 In-Context

1 Set not thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, "I have enough for my life."

2 Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart.

3 And say not, "Who shall control me in my works?" For the Lord will surely avenge thy pride.

4 Say not, "I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me?" For the Lord is long-suffering; He will in no wise let thee go.

5 Concerning propitiation, be not without fear, adding sin unto sin.
