1 Blessed is the man that has not slipped with his mouth, And is not pricked with sorrow for sins.
2 Blessed is he whose soul does not condemn him, And who is not fallen from his hope.
3 Riches are not comely for a niggard; And what should an envious man do with money?
4 He that gathers by taking from his own soul gathers for others; And others shall revel in his goods.
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.
