Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity? The two rhetorical questions: Is the landowner not free to do as he will with his own money? And is the grumbler's eye evil (the literal translation of do you begrudge my generosity is is your eye evil?) — the eye of envy that cannot bear the prosperity of another? The evil eye of the grumbler is the obstacle to receiving the kingdom's grace.
