ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૧:૨૬
એવા માણસો હોય છે કે જેઓ આખો દિવસ લોભ જ કર્યા કરે છે, પણ નેક માણસ તો આપે છે અને હાથ પાછો ખેંચી રાખતો નથી.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २१:२६
कोई ऐसा है, जो दिन भर लालसा ही किया करता है, परन्तु धर्मी लगातार दान करता रहता है।

In context

24The proud and arrogant man—“Scoffer” is his name— he works in the arrogance of pride.

25The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

26There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don’t withhold.

27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination— how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!

28A false witness will perish. A man who listens speaks to eternity.
