Sirach 11:18-20
Common English Bible
18 Some become rich from diligence
and greed,[a]
and this is part of their reward:
19 When they say, “I’ve found rest,
and now I’ll eat of my good things,”
they don’t know when the time
will come
when they will leave these things
to others and die.
20 Stand by your agreement,
devote attention to accomplishing it,
and grow old in your work.
