12 Others are sluggish and need support, lacking strength and immersed in poverty. The Lord has looked upon them with kindness, and has restored them from their low position.

Sirach 11:12 In-Context

10 My child, don't be busy with many things; if you multiply pursuits, you won't be held guiltless. If you pursue them, you won't overtake them, and when you flee, you won't escape.

11 Some people work hard, struggle, and hurry— and end up even more deeply in need.

12 Others are sluggish and need support, lacking strength and immersed in poverty. The Lord has looked upon them with kindness, and has restored them from their low position.

13 He has raised up their heads, and many have been amazed at them.

14 Good things and bad, life and death, poverty and wealth come from the Lord.
