Ben Sira 12:1-6

1 If you do a kindness, know to whom you do it, and you will be thanked for your good deeds.

2 Do good to a godly man, and you will be repaid -- if not by him, certainly by the Most High.

3 No good will come to the man who persists in evil or to him who does not give alms.

4 Give to the godly man, but do not help the sinner.

5 Do good to the humble, but do not give to the ungodly; hold back his bread, and do not give it to him, lest by means of it he subdue you; for you will receive twice as much evil for all the good which you do to him.

6 For the Most High also hates sinners and will inflict punishment on the ungodly.
