3 Wealth isn’t good for a mean person.What use is moneyto a begrudging person?
4 Those who deny themselvescollect for others,and others will live luxuriouslywith their goods.
5 Those who are evil to themselves,to whom will they be good?They will never enjoy their money.
6 There are none worse than thosewho begrudge themselves,and this is the paybackfor their wickedness:
7 If they do good,they do it without being aware,and in the end they revealtheir wickedness.
8 The miserly are evil;they turn their face awayand disregard people.
9 Those who have greedy eyesare never satisfied with their share,and evil injustice withers their soul.
