Sirach 31:3-14
-
3 The rich hath great labour in gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicates.
-
4 The poor laboureth in his poor estate; and when he leaveth off, he is still needy.
-
5 He that loveth gold shall not be justified, and he that followeth corruption shall have enough thereof.
-
6 Gold hath been the ruin of many, and their destruction was present.
-
7 It is a stumblingblock unto them that sacrifice unto it, and every fool shall be taken therewith.
-
8 Blessed is the rich that is found without blemish, and hath not gone after gold.
-
9 Who is he? and we will call him blessed: for wonderful things hath he done among his people.
-
10 Who hath been tried thereby, and found perfect? then let him glory. Who might offend, and hath not offended? or done evil, and hath not done it?
-
11 His goods shall be established, and the congregation shall declare his alms.
-
12 If thou sit at a bountiful table, be not greedy upon it, and say not, There is much meat on it.
-
13 Remember that a wicked eye is an evil thing: and what is created more wicked than an eye? therefore it weepeth upon every occasion.
-
14 Stretch not thine hand whithersoever it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish.
