Wisdom of Ben Sira 11:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ Know your obligations and fulfill them;
    grow old at your work.
²¹ Do not admire the achievements of the wicked,
    but trust in the Lord and remain at your task.
For it is no problem for the Lord
    suddenly, in an instant, to make a poor person rich.
²² The blessing of the Lord is the reward of the righteous,
    and he quickly causes his blessing to multiply.
