Sirach 11:23

23 Don't say, "What do I need? What good things will be mine from now on?"

Sirach 11:23 In-Context

21 Don't be amazed at the works of sinners, but trust in the Lord and continue your work, because it is easy in God's sight to make the poor person quickly and suddenly rich.
22 The Lord's blessing is part of the godly person's wages, and God's good pleasure causes a person to flourish very quickly.
23 Don't say, "What do I need? What good things will be mine from now on?"
24 Don't say, "I have enough. What harm can come upon me from now on?"
25 At a time of prosperity, adversity is forgotten, and at a time of adversity, prosperity is not remembered.
