Ben Sira 20:10

10 There is a gift that shall not profit thee, and there is a gift whose recompense is double.

Ben Sira 20:10 In-Context

8 He that useth many words shall be abhorred, and he that taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.
9 There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things, and there is a gain that turneth to loss.
10 There is a gift that shall not profit thee, and there is a gift whose recompense is double.
11 There is an abasement because of glory, and there is one that lifteth up his head from a low estate.
12 There is one that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.
