Sirach 14:11LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 11 of 27
"My son, if thou have any thing, do good to thyself, and offer to God worthy offerings."
In context
9The eye of the covetous man is insatiable in his portion of iniquity: he will not be satisfied till he consume his own soul, drying it up.
10An evil eye is towards evil things: and he shall not have his fill of bread, but shall be needy and pensive at his own table.
11My son, if thou have any thing, do good to thyself, and offer to God worthy offerings.
12Remember that death is not slow, and that the covenant of hell hath been shewn to thee: for the covenant of this world shall surely die.
13Do good to thy friend before thou die, and according to thy ability, stretching out thy hand give to the poor.
