Ecclesiasticus 14:1-4 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. BLESSED is the man that hath not slipped by a word out of his mouth, and is not pricked with the remorse of sin.

2. Happy is he that hath had no sadness of his mind, and who is not fallen from his hope.

3. Riches are not comely for a covetous man and a niggard, and what should an envious man do with gold?

4. He that gathereth together by wronging his own soul, gathereth for others, and another will squander away his goods in rioting.
