Ben Sira 51:27-30
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 See for yourselves! I have labored only a little,
but have found much.
28 Acquire but a little instruction,
and you will win silver and gold through her.
29 May your soul rejoice in God’s mercy;
do not be ashamed to give him praise.
30 Work at your tasks in due season,
and in his own time God will give you your reward.(A)
