Sirach 33:16

16 I was the last to keep vigil, as one who gathered the leftovers after the grape pickers.

Sirach 33:16 In-Context

14 Good is the opposite of evil, and life is the opposite of death; so the sinner is the opposite of the godly.
15 Observe, then, all the works of the Most High, two by two, one opposite the other.
16 I was the last to keep vigil, as one who gathered the leftovers after the grape pickers.
17 By the blessing of the Lord, I was first on the scene, and like the grape pickers, I filled up a wine vat.
18 Understand that I haven't labored for myself alone, but for all those who are seeking instruction.
