Sirach 11:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ Stand by your agreement,
devote attention to accomplishing it,
    and grow old in your work.
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.
