Sirach 11:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ There is a man who works, and toils, and presses on,
    but is so much the more in want.
¹² There is another who is slow and needs help,
    who lacks strength and abounds in poverty;
but the eyes of the Lord look upon him for his good;
    he lifts him out of his low estate
¹³ and raises up his head,
    so that many are amazed at him.
