No one is worse than one who is grudging to himself; this is the punishment for his meanness.
No one is worse than one who is grudging to himself; this is the punishment for his meanness.
No one is worse than one who is grudging to himself; this is the punishment for his meanness.
No one is worse than those who are grudging to themselves; this is the repayment for their meanness.
No one is meaner than the man who is grudging to himself, and this is the retribution for his baseness;
No one is meaner than the man who is grudging to himself, and this is the retribution for his baseness;
Nothing is worse, than he that hath envy to himself; and this is the yielding of his malice. [Nothing is worse, than he that envieth to himself; and this is the yielding of his malice.]
