r
others, that shall spend his goods riotously.

Sir 14:5
He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? he shall
not take pleasure in his goods.

Sir 14:6
There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this is
a recompence of his wickedness.

Sir 14:7
And if he doeth good, he doeth it unwillingly; and at the
last he will declare his wickedness.

Sir 14:8
The envious man hath a wicked eye; he turneth away his face,
and despiseth men.

Sir 14:9
A covetous man's eye is not satisfied with his portion; and
the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul.

Sir 14:10
A wicked eye envieth [his] bread, and he is a niggard at his
table.

Sir 14:11
My son, according to thy ability do good to thyself, and give
the Lord his due offering.

Sir 14:12
Remember that death will not be long in coming, and that the
covenant of the grave is not shewed unto thee.

Sir 14:13
Do good unto thy friend before thou die, and according to thy
ability stretch out thy hand and give to him.

Sir 14:14

Sir 14:17
All flesh waxeth old as a garment: for the covenant from the
beginning is, Thou shalt die the death.

Sir 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 born.

Sir 14:19
Every work rotteth and consumeth away, and the worker thereof
shall go withal.

Sir 14:20
Blessed is the man that doth meditate good things in wisdom,
and that reasoneth of holy things by his understanding.

Sir 14:21

understanding in her secrets.

Sir 14:22
Go after her as one that traceth, and lie in wait in her
ways.

Sir 14:23
He that prieth in at her windows shall also hearken at her
doors.

Sir 14:24
He that doth lodge near her house shall also fasten a pin in
her walls.

Sir 14:25
He shall pitch his tent nigh unto her, and shall lodge in a
lodging where good things are.

Sir 14:26
He shall set his children under her shelter, and shall lodge
under her branches.

Sir 14:27
By her he shall be covered from heat, and in her glory shall
