Ben Sira 40:18 In-Context

16 The weed growing over every water, and at the bank of the river, shall be pulled up before all grass.
17 Grace is like a paradise in blessings, and mercy remaineth for ever.
18 The life of a labourer that is content with what he hath, shall be sweet, and in it thou shalt find a treasure.
19 Children, and the building of a city shall establish a name, but a blameless wife shall be counted above them both.
20 Wine and music rejoice the heart, but the love of wisdom is above them both.
