Ben Sira 31:11

11 If so, he deserves his wealth, and everyone will praise him for his generosity.

Ben Sira 31:11 In-Context

9 Do you know anyone like that? If so, we will congratulate him for performing a miracle that no one else has ever been able to do.
10 If anyone has ever passed this test, he can well be proud. Has anyone ever known that he could get away with cheating someone, and not taken advantage of it?
11 If so, he deserves his wealth, and everyone will praise him for his generosity.
12 When you sit down at a fancy banquet, don't let your mouth hang open, and don't say, "Look at all that food!"
13 It is impolite to have a greedy eye; remember that. Nothing in creation is greedier than the eye; that is why it sheds tears so often.
