Sirach 31:8
Douay-Rheims
Blessed is the rich man that is found without blemish: and that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures.
George Leo Haydock
Nor, &c. Greek, ( 9. ) who, &c. “Pride is the worm of riches.” (St. Augustine) — “In delights, chastity is endangered; and humility in the midst of riches.” (St. Bernard, conv. Cler. xxx.) — Not to transgress, on such occasions, is the greatest miracle. (Calmet) — Man has free will, and those are happy, who, by God’s grace, do not abuse it. (Worthington)
