Sirach 14:8LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 8 of 27
"The eye of the envious is wicked: and he turneth away his face, and despiseth his own soul."
In context
6There is none worse than he that envieth himself, and this is the reward of his wickedness:
7And if he do good, he doth it ignorantly, and unwillingly: and at the last he discovereth his wickedness.
8The eye of the envious is wicked: and he turneth away his face, and despiseth his own soul.
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.
