Sirach 14:1-4
-
1 Blessed is the man that hath not slipped with his mouth, and is not pricked with the multitude of sins.
-
2 Blessed is he whose conscience hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord.
-
3 Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an envious man do with money?
-
4 He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously.
