Sirach 11:17-19
Common English Bible
17 The Lord’s gift remains with the godly,
and his favor will always bring success.
18 Some become rich from diligence
and greed,[a]
and this is part of their reward:
19 When they say, “I’ve found rest,
and now I’ll eat of my good things,”
they don’t know when the time
will come
when they will leave these things
to others and die.
