No good comes to one who persists in evil
    or to one who does not give alms.
Give to the devout, but do not help the sinner.
    Do good to the humble, but do not give to the ungodly;

    for by means of it they might subdue you;
then you will receive twice as much evil
    for all the good you have done to them.
