KJB-1611 SIR Chapter 14

SIR 14 ©

01 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. 2Blessed is hee whose conscience hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord. 3Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an enuious man doe with money? 4He that gathereth by defrauding his owne soule, gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously. 5Hee that is euill to himselfe, to whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods. 6There is none worse then he that enuieth himselfe; and this is a recompence of his wickednesse. 7And if he doth good, he doth it vnwillingly, and at the last he will declare his wickednesse. 8The 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. 10A wicked eye enuieth [his] bread, and he is a niggard at his table. 11My sonne, according to thy habilitie doe good to thy selfe, and giue the Lord his due offering. 12Remember 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. 15Shalt thou not leaue thy trauailes vnto another? and thy labours to be diuided by lot? 16Giue, 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. 18As 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. 19Euery 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. 21He that considereth her wayes in his heart, shall also haue vnderstanding in her secrets. 22Goe after her as one that traceth, and lie in wait in her wayes. 23Hee 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. 25He shall pitch his tent nigh vnto her, and shall lodge in a lodging where good things are. 26He shal set his children vnder her shelter, and shall lodge vnder her branches. 27By her he shall be couered from heat, and in her glory shall he dwell.
