1 Blessed is the man who has not slipped because of a word from his mouth, and who has not been stung by grief because of an offense.
·
2 Happy is he who does not have sadness in his mind, and who has not fallen away from his hope.
·
3 Substance is senseless for a greedy and stingy man. And what would a spiteful man do with gold?
·
4 Whoever acquires unjustly, according to his own mind, gathers for others. For another will spend his goods lavishly.
·
5 Whoever is wicked to himself, to whom will he be good? For he will not take enjoyment in his own goods.
·
6 Whoever has ill will toward himself, nothing is more worthless than he is. But such is the reward of his wickedness.
·
7 And if he does good, he does it ignorantly and unwillingly. And in the very end, he realizes his own malice.
·
8 The eye of the spiteful man is wicked, and he averts his face and despises his own soul.
·
9 The eye of the greedy man is insatiable in his portion of iniquity. He will not be satisfied until he has consumed his own soul, withering it away.
·
10 An evil eye is directed at evil things. And he will not be satisfied by bread; instead, he will be needy and grieving at his own table.
·
11 Son, if you have anything, do good to yourself, and offer worthy oblations to God.
·
12 Remember that death has not been delayed, and that the covenant of the grave has been revealed to you. For the covenant of this world will pass away in death.
·
13 Do good to your friend before you die. And according to your ability, extend your hand and give to the poor.
·
14 Do not cheat yourself out of a good day, and do not let the smallest good gift pass you by.
·
15 Should you not leave it to others to divide your sorrows and labors by lot?
·
16 Give, and receive, and justify your soul.
·
17 Before your passing, accomplish justice. For in death, there is no food to be found.
·
18 All flesh grows old like the grass, and like the foliage that springs forth from a green tree.
·
19 Some spring up, and others fall away. Such is the generation of flesh and blood. One is finished, and another is born.
·
20 Every corruptible work will fail in the end. And its worker will go with it.
·
21 But every excellent work will be justified. And whoever worked it will be honored by it.
·
22 Blessed is the man who will abide in wisdom, and who will meditate on her righteousness, and who, in his mind, will consider the circumspection of God.
·
23 He considers her ways in his heart, and he finds understanding in her secrets. He goes after her like an investigator, and he is constant in her ways.
·
24 He gazes through her windows, and he listens at her door.
·
25 He rests next to her house, and, fastening a peg in her walls, he sets up his cottage by her hands. And so, good things will find rest in his cottage as time passes.
·
26 He will station his sons under her covering, and he will abide under her branches.
·
27 He will be protected by her covering from the heat, and he will rest in her glory.
