Sirach 11:18-20
Revised Standard Version
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.
20 Stand by your covenant[b] and attend to it,
and grow old in your work.
