The Use Of Wealth (By Ben Sira)

Wealth is not appropriate for the mean-spirited; to misers, what use is gold?
What they deny themselves they collect for someone else, and strangers will live sumptuously on their possessions.
To whom will they be generous that are stingy with themselves and do not enjoy what is their own?
None are worse than those who are stingy with themselves; they punish their own avarice.
If ever they do good, it is by mistake; in the end they reveal their meanness.
Misers are evil people, they turn away and disregard others.
The greedy see their share as not enough; greedy injustice dries up the soul.
The eye of the miserly is rapacious for food, but there is none of it on their own table.
My son, if you have the means, treat yourself well, and enjoy life as best you can.
Remember that death does not delay, and you have not been told the grave’s appointed time.
Give and take, treat yourself well, for in Sheol there are no joys to seek.
All flesh grows old like a garment; the age-old law is: everyone must die.
As with the leaves growing on a luxuriant tree, one falls off and another sprouts.
So with the generations of flesh and blood: one dies and another flourishes.
Amen.
