In 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.
— Sirach 14:5 —
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.
