Ben Sira 14:7

7 If ever he does good, it is by mistake; and in the end he reveals his meanness.

Ben Sira 14:7 In-Context

5 If one is mean to himself, to whom will he be generous? He will not enjoy his own riches.

6 No one is worse than one who is grudging to himself; this is the punishment for his meanness.

7 If ever he does good, it is by mistake; and in the end he reveals his meanness.

8 The miser is an evil person; he turns away and disregards people.

9 The eye of the greedy person is not satisfied with his share; greedy injustice withers the soul.
