In context
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 his bread, and he is a niggard at his table.
— Sirach 14:11 —
12Remember that death will not be long in coming, and that the covenant of the grave is not shewed unto thee.
