Sirach 11:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁰Stand by your agreement and attend to it,
    and grow old in your work.
²¹Do not wonder at the works of a sinner,
    but trust in the Lord and keep at your job,
for it is easy in the sight of the Lord
    to make the poor person suddenly rich, in an instant.^(A)

    and quickly his blessing flourishes.
