In context
18There is that waxeth rich by his wariness and pinching, And this is the portion of his reward:
19Whereas he saith, I have found rest, And now will eat continually of my goods; And yet he knoweth not what time shall come upon him, And that he must leave those things to others, and die.
— Sirach 11:20 —
21Marvel not at the works of sinners; But trust in the Lord, and abide in thy labor: For it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord on the sudden to make a poor man rich.
22The blessing of the Lord is in the reward of the godly, And suddenly he maketh his blessing to flourish.
