Sirach 14:5-10 World English Bible (WEB)

5. He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? And he shall not rejoice in his possessions.

6. There is none more evil than he that envies himself; And this is a recompense of his wickedness.

7. Even if he does good, he does it in forgetfulness; And at the last he shows forth his wickedness.

8. Evil is he that envies with his eye, Turning away the face, and despising the souls of men.

9. A covetous man’s eye is not satisfied with his portion; And wicked injustice dries up his soul.

10. An evil eye is grudging of bread, And he is miserly at his table
