Ben Sira 1:23

23 A patient man will endure until the right moment, and then joy will burst forth for him.

Ben Sira 1:23 In-Context

22 Unrighteous anger cannot be justified, for a man's anger tips the scale to his ruin.
23 A patient man will endure until the right moment, and then joy will burst forth for him.
24 He will hide his words until the right moment, and the lips of many will tell of his good sense.
25 In the treasuries of wisdom are wise sayings, but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.
