1 Blessed is the man who has not slipped with his mouth, and doesn’t suffer from sorrow for sins.
·
2 Blessed is he whose soul does not condemn him, and who has not given up hope.
·
3 Riches are not appropriate for a stingy person. What would a miser do with money?
·
4 He who gathers by denying himself gathers for others. Others will revel in his goods.
·
5 If one is mean to himself, to whom will he be good? He won’t enjoy his possessions.
·
6 There is none more evil than he who is grudging to himself. This is a punishment for his wickedness.
·
7 Even if he does good, he does it in forgetfulness. In the end, he reveals his wickedness.
·
8 A miser is evil. He turns away and disregards souls.
·
9 A covetous man’s eye is not satisfied with his portion. Wicked injustice dries up his soul.
·
10 A miser begrudges bread, and it is lacking at his table.
·
11 My son, according to what you have, treat yourself well, and bring worthy offerings to the Lord.
·
12 Remember that death will not wait, and that the covenant of Hades hasn’t been shown to you.
·
13 Do good to your friends before you die. According to your ability, reach out and give to them.
·
14 Don’t deprive yourself of a good day. Don’t let your share of a desired good pass you by.
·
15 Won’t you leave your labors to another, and your toils be divided by lot?
·
16 Give, take, and treat yourself well, because there is no seeking of luxury in Hades.
·
17 All flesh grows old like a garment, for the covenant from the beginning is, “You must die!”
·
18 Like the leaves flourishing on a thick tree, some it sheds, and some grow, so also are the generations of flesh and blood: one comes to an end and another is born.
·
19 Every work rots and falls away, and its builder will depart with it.
·
20 Blessed is the man who meditates on wisdom, and who reasons by his understanding.
·
21 He who considers her ways in his heart will also have knowledge of her secrets.
·
22 Go after her like a hunter, and lie in wait in her paths.
·
23 He who peers in at her windows will also listen at her doors.
·
24 He who lodges close to her house will also fasten a nail in her walls.
·
25 He will pitch his tent near at hand to her, and will lodge in a lodging where good things are.
·
26 He will set his children under her shelter, and will rest under her branches.
·
27 By her he will be covered from heat, and will lodge in her glory.
