KJB-1611 SIR Chapter 14
◄ SIR 14 ► ║ ©
0 1 A good conscience maketh men happie. 5 The niggard doth good to none. 13 But doe thou good. 10 Men are happy that draw neere to wisedome. XIV ¶ [fn][fn]Blessed is the man that hath not slipt with his mouth, and is not pricked with the multitude of sinnes. 2 Blessed is hee whose conscience hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord. 3 Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an enuious man doe with money? 4 He that gathereth by defrauding his owne soule, gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously. 5 Hee that is euill to himselfe, to whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods. 6 There is none worse then he that enuieth himselfe; and this is a recompence of his wickednesse. 7 And if he doth good, he doth it vnwillingly, and at the last he will declare his wickednesse. 8 The enuious man hath a wicked eye, he turneth away his face and despiseth men. 9 [fn]A couetous mans eye is not satisfied with his portion, and the iniquity of the wicked dryeth vp his soule. 10 A wicked eye enuieth [his] bread, and he is a niggard at his table. 11 My sonne, according to thy habilitie doe good to thy selfe, and giue the Lord his due offering. 12 Remember that death will not be long in comming, and that the couenant of the graue is not shewed vnto thee. 13 [fn]Doe good vnto thy friend before thou die, and according to thy abilitie, stretch out thy hand and giue to him. 14 [fn]Defraud not thy selfe of the good day, and let not the part of a good desire ouerpasse thee. 15 Shalt thou not leaue thy trauailes vnto another? and thy labours to be diuided by lot? 16 Giue, and take, and sanctifie thy soule, for there is no seeking of dainties in the graue. 17 [fn]All flesh waxeth old as a garment: for the couenant from the beginning is; thou shalt die the death. 18 As of the greene leaues on a thicke tree, some fall, and some grow; so is the generation of flesh and blood, one commeth to an end, and another is borne. 19 Euery worke rotteth and consumeth away, and the worker therof shal goe withall. 20 [fn]Blessed is the man that doeth meditate good things in wisdome, and that reasoneth of holy things by his vnderstanding. 21 He that considereth her wayes in his heart, shall also haue vnderstanding in her secrets. 22 Goe after her as one that traceth, and lie in wait in her wayes. 23 Hee that prieth in at her windowes, shal also hearken at her doores. 24 [fn]Hee that doeth lodge neere her house, shall also fasten a pin in her walles. 25 He shall pitch his tent nigh vnto her, and shall lodge in a lodging where good things are. 26 He shal set his children vnder her shelter, and shall lodge vnder her branches. 27 By her he shall be couered from heat, and in her glory shall he dwell.
