Ben Sira 11:12

12 On the other hand, someone else may be very poor and not up to his task. He may be slow, and he may need help, but the Lord is pleased with him and pulls him out of his bad situation.

Ben Sira 11:12 In-Context

10 My child, don't get involved in too many things. If you try to do too much, you will suffer for it. You won't be able to finish your work, and you won't be able to get away from it either.

11 For instance, here is someone who never stops working like a slave, but gets further behind all the time.

12 On the other hand, someone else may be very poor and not up to his task. He may be slow, and he may need help, but the Lord is pleased with him and pulls him out of his bad situation.

13 When he is back on his feet again, everyone is astounded.

14 Everything comes from the Lord: success and failure, poverty and wealth, life and death.
