Sirach 11:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ Stand by your duty and stick to it; grow old at your work. ²¹ Don't be jealous of what sinners achieve; just stick to your own work, and trust the Lord. It is very easy for the Lord to make a poor person suddenly rich. ²² Devout people will receive the Lord's blessing as their reward, and that blessing can be given in a moment.
