Sirach 40:26-28
Common English Bible
26 Money and strength will lift up
one’s heart,
but fearing the Lord is better than both.
If you fear the Lord,
you’ll lack nothing;
if you have it,
there’s no reason to look for help.
27 Fear of the Lord
is like an orchard of blessing,
and it covers a person
more fully than any glory.
28 My child, don’t live the life of a beggar;
it’s better to die than to beg.
