Wisdom of Ben Sira 11:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ Do not admire the achievements of the wicked,
    but trust in the Lord and remain at your task.
For it is no problem for the Lord
    suddenly, in an instant, to make a poor person rich.
²² The blessing of the Lord is the reward of the righteous,
    and he quickly causes his blessing to multiply.
²³ Do not say, “What do I need,
    and what further benefits can be mine?”
