Sirach 11:20-22

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰Stand by your covenant^[a] 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 toil;
for it is easy in the sight of the Lord
    to enrich a poor man quickly and suddenly.
²²The blessing of the Lord is^[b] the reward of the godly,
    and quickly God causes his blessing to flourish.
