Sirach 14:6
King James VersionSource notes
“There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this is a recompence of his wickedness.”
Context
3Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an envious man do with money?
4He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously.
5He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods.
6There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this is a recompence of his wickedness.
7And if he doeth good, he doeth it unwillingly; and at the last he will declare his wickedness.
8The envious man hath a wicked eye; he turneth away his face, and despiseth men.
9A covetous man’s eye is not satisfied with his portion; and the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul.
