Sirach 11:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹There are those who work and struggle and hurry
    but are so much the more in want.^(A)
¹²There are others who are slow and need help,
    who lack strength and abound in poverty,
but the eyes of the Lord look kindly upon them;
    he lifts them out of their lowly condition^(B)
¹³and raises up their heads
    to the amazement of the many.
