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.
·
5 He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? He shall not take pleasure in his goods.
·
6 There is none worse than he that envieth himself; And this is a recompense of his wickedness.
·
7 And if he doeth good, he doeth it unwillingly; And at the last he will declare his wickedness.
·
8 The envious man hath a wicked eye; He turneth away his face, and despiseth men.
·
9 A covetous man’s eye is not satisfied with his portion; And the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul.
·
10 A wicked eye envieth [his] bread, And he is a niggard at his table.
·
11 My son, according to thy ability do good to thyself, And give the Lord his due offering.
·
12 Remember that death will not be long in coming, And that the covenant of the grave is not shown unto thee.
·
13 Do good unto thy friend before thou die, And according to thy ability stretch out thy hand and give to him.
·
14 Defraud not thyself of the good day, And let not the part of a good desire overpass thee.
·
15 Shalt thou not leave thy travails unto another? And thy labors to be divided by lot?
·
16 Give, and take, and sanctify thy soul; For there is no seeking of dainties in the grave.
·
17 All flesh waxeth old as a garment: For the covenant from the beginning is, Thou shalt die the death.
·
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.
·
19 Every work rotteth and consumeth away, And the worker thereof shall go withal.
·
20 Blessed is the man that doth meditate good things in wisdom, And that reasoneth of holy things by his understanding.
·
21 He that considereth her ways in his heart Shall also have understanding in her secrets.
·
22 Go after her as one that traceth, And lie in wait in her ways.
·
23 He that prieth in at her windows Shall also hearken at her doors.
·
24 He that doth lodge near her house Shall also fasten a pin in her walls.
·
25 He shall pitch his tent nigh unto her, And shall lodge in a lodging where good things are.
·
26 He shall set his children under her shelter, And shall lodge under her branches.
·
27 By her he shall be covered from heat, And in her glory shall he dwell.
