Ecclesiasticus 12:2-6 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

2. Do good to the just, and thou shalt find great recompense: and if not of him, assuredly of the Lord.

3. For there is no good for him that is always occupied in evil, and that giveth no alms: for the Highest hateth sinners, and hath mercy on the penitent.

4. Give to the merciful and uphold not the sinner: God will repay vengeance to the ungodly and to sinners, and keep them against the day of vengeance.

5. Give to the good, and receive not a sinner.

6. Do good to the humble, and give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not to him, lest thereby he overmaster thee.
