Sirach 40:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ The weed growing over every water, and at the bank of the river, shall be pulled up before all grass.

¹⁷ Grace is like a paradise in blessings, and mercy remaineth for ever.

¹⁸ The life of a labourer that is content with what he hath, shall be sweet, and in it thou shalt find a treasure.
