Sirach 11:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ There are those who work and struggle and hurry,
    but are so much the more in want.
¹² There are others who are slow and need help,
    who lack strength and abound in poverty;
but the eyes of the Lord look kindly upon them;
    he lifts them out of their lowly condition
¹³ and raises up their heads
    to the amazement of the many.
