Sirach 14:4 CPDV

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.
