Sir 14:9
King James Version
“A covetous man’s eye is not satisfied with his portion; and the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul.”
Context
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.
10A wicked eye envieth bread, and he is a niggard at his table.
11My son, according to thy ability do good to thyself, and give the Lord his due offering.
12Remember that death will not be long in coming, and that the covenant of the grave is not shewed unto thee.
