10 Envious people are even begrudgingwhen it comes to bread,and it’s lacking on their table.
11 My child, treat yourself wellaccording to what you have,and bring offerings to the Lordthat are worthy.
12 Remember that death won’t delay,and the decree of the gravehasn’t been shown to you.
13 Before you die, treat your friends well.According to your ability, reach out, and give to them.
14 Enjoy a good day,and don’t let your shareof a good desire pass you by.
15 Won’t you end up leaving behindto another what you have workedso hard for?Won’t the things you have toiled forend up being divided by lot?
16 Give, take, and distract yourself,because you can’t search for luxuryin the grave.
