Sirach 31:8-12 World English Bible (WEB)

8. Blessed is the rich that is found without blemish, And that goes not after gold.

9. Who is he? and we will call him blessed: For wonderful things has he done among his people.

10. Who has been tried thereby, and found perfect? Then let him glory. Who has had the power to transgress, and has not transgressed? And to do evil, and has not done it?

11. His goods shall be made sure, And the congregation shall declare his alms.

12. Sittest you at a great table? be not greedy upon it, And say not, Many are the things upon it.
