Sirach 11:19-21
Revised Standard Version
Sirach 11:19-21
Revised Standard Version
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.
21 Do not wonder at the works of a sinner,
but trust in the Lord and keep at your toil;
for it is easy in the sight of the Lord
to enrich a poor man quickly and suddenly.
