In context

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.

— Sirach 11:23 —

24Again, say not, I have enough, and possess many things, And what evil can come to me hereafter?

25In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of affliction: And in the day of affliction there is no more remembrance of prosperity.
