Sirach 11:22-28

{11:22} You should not spend time in the works of sinners. Instead, trust in God and remain in your own place.
{11:23} For it is easy, in the eyes of God, to make a pauper suddenly rich.
{11:24} The blessing of God hurries to reward the just man, and in a fleeting hour his advancement bears fruit.
{11:25} You should not say: “What do I need?” or, “What good will there be for me in this?”
{11:26} You should not say: “I have enough for myself,” or, “What could be worse than this?”
{11:27} In a day of good things, you should not be forgetful of misfortunes. And in a day of misfortunes, you should not be forgetful of good things.
{11:28} For it is easy, in the sight of God, on the day of one’s passing, to repay each one according to his ways.
