Ecclesiasticus 14:
1
Blessed is the man that hath not slipped with his mouth, and is not pricked with the multitude of sins.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
2
Blessed is he whose conscience hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
3
Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an envious man do with money?
Ecclesiasticus 14:
4
He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul, gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
5
He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
6
There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this is a recompense of his wickedness.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
7
And if he doth good, he doth it unwillingly, and at the last he will declare his wickedness.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
8
The envious man hath a wicked eye, he turneth away his face and despiseth men.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
9
A covetous mans eye is not satisfied with his portion, and the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
10
A wicked eye envieth his bread, and he is a niggard at his table.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
11
My son, according to thy ability do good to thy self, and give the Lord his due offering.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
12
Remember that death will not be long in coming, and that the covenant of the grave is not shewed unto thee.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
13
Do good unto thy friend before thou die, and according to thy ability, stretch out thy hand and give to him.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
14
Defraud not thy self of the good day, and let not the part of a good desire overpass thee.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
15
Shalt thou not leave thy travails unto another? and thy labours to be divided by lot?
Ecclesiasticus 14:
16
Give, and take, and sanctify thy soul, for there is no seeking of dainties in the grave.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
17
All flesh waxeth old as a garment: for the covenant from the beginning is; thou shalt die the death.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
18
As of the green leaves on a thick tree, some fall, and some grow; so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is borne.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
19
Every work rotteth and consumeth away, and the worker thereof shall go withal.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
20
Blessed is the man that doeth meditate good things in wisdom, and that reasoned of holy things by his understanding.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
21
He that considereth her ways in his heart, shall also have understanding in her secrets.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
22
Go after her as one that traceth, and lie in wait in her ways.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
23
He that prieth in at her windows, shall also hearken at her doors.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
24
He that doeth lodge near her house, shall also fasten a pin in her walls.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
25
He shall pitch his tent nigh unto her, and shall lodge in a lodging where good things are.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
26
He shall set his children under her shelter, and shall lodge under her branches.
Ecclesiasticus 14:
27
By her he shall be covered from heat, and in her glory shall he dwell.
