Sirach 11:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ Don’t be amazed at the works of sinners,
    but trust in the Lord
    and continue your work,
        because it is easy in God’s sight
    to make the poor person
    quickly and suddenly rich.
²² The Lord’s blessing is part
of the godly person’s wages,
    and God’s good pleasure
    causes a person to flourish very quickly.
²³ Don’t say, “What do I need?
    What good things will be mine
    from now on?”
