Ben Sira 14:7

7 even if he does good, he does it unintentionally, and betrays his baseness in the end.

Ben Sira 14:7 In-Context

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

6 No one is meaner than the man who is grudging to himself, and this is the retribution for his baseness;

7 even if he does good, he does it unintentionally, and betrays his baseness in the end.

8 Evil is the man with a grudging eye; he averts his face and disregards people.

9 A greedy man's eye is not satisfied with a portion, and mean injustice withers the soul.
