9. A covetous man’s eye is not satisfied with his portion; And wicked injustice dries up his soul.
10. An evil eye is grudging of bread, And he is miserly at his table
11. My son, according as you have, do well to yourself, And bring offerings to the Lord worthily.
12. Remember that death will not wait, And that the covenant of the grave is not showed to you.
13. Do well to your friend before you die; And according to your ability stretch out your hand and give to him.
14. Defraud not yourself of a good day; And let not the portion of a good desire pass you by.
15. Shall you not leave your labors to another? And your toils to be divided by lot?
16. Give, and take, and decieve your soul; For there is no seeking of luxury in the grave.
17. All flesh waxes old as a garment; For the covenant from the beginning is, You shall die the death.
