Sirach 40:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ There is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek for help.

²⁸ The fear of the Lord is like a paradise of blessing, and they have covered it above all glory.

²⁹ My son, in thy lifetime be not indigent: for it is better to die than to want.
