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.
