Sirach 11:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ The blessing of God maketh haste to reward the just, and in a swift hour his blessing beareth fruit.

²⁵ Say not: What need I, and what good shall I have by this?

²⁶ Say not: I am sufficient for myself: and what shall I be made worse by this?
