Sirach 14:3-5
Wycliffe Bible
3 Chattel, that is, riches, is without reason to a covetous man, and hard niggard (or stingy or miserly); and whereto is gold to an envious man? [To the covetous man, and hard, without reason is substance; and to an envious man, whereto gold?]
4 He that gathereth of his will unjustly, gathereth to (or for) other men; and another man shall make waste [or do lechery] in (or with) his goods.
5 To what other man shall he be good, which is wicked to himself? and he shall not be merry in his goods. [Who to himself is shrewd (or depraved), to what other shall he be good? and he shall not be merry in his goods.]
