Sirach 11:17-19

Revised Standard Version

¹⁷ The gift of the Lord endures for those who are godly,
    and what he approves will have lasting success.
¹⁸ There is a man who is rich through his diligence and self-denial,
    and this is the reward allotted to him:
¹⁹ when he says, “I have found rest,
    and now I shall enjoy^[a] my goods!”
he does not know how much time will pass
    until he leaves them to others and dies.
