Sirach 11:21-23

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²¹ Do 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 rich suddenly, in an instant.
²² The blessing of the Lord is^[a] the reward of the pious,
    and quickly God causes his blessing to flourish.
²³ Do not say, ‘What do I need,
    and what further benefit can be mine?’
