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.
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.
