With mine own; ἐν τοῖς ἐμοῖς: in the case of what is mine own. These words are omitted by the Vulgate, which has, Aut ( ἠ Ì) non licet mihi quod volo facere? Is thine eye evil? The evil eye is here expressive of envy, as Proverbs 28:22.
The Latin word invidia, Cicero informs us ('Tusc. Disp..' Proverbs 3:9), "ductum est a nimis intuendo fortunam alterius." For nimis Bentley conjectures limis, "with sidelong glances." The idea is the same, envy being indicated by the look of the eye.
Good; generous. Why should you view with disfavour my liberality? The master says no more; he gives no further account of his determination.
